Muted morning light slides over slate roofs in La Grave while La Meije, 3,984 m, saws the sky and the 1976 cable car creaks to life. After a 40‑minute drive from Les Deux Alpes across the Chambon dam, you drop into the Romanche valley and meet a village famed for steep skiing, guiding culture, and hanging hamlets. The Girose Glacier, the Brèche de la Meije, and the Emparis plateau oratories map a lived‑in high mountain—severe, exacting, and deeply instructive, as much about reading terrain and history as about turns.
Pick‑up at your Les Deux Alpes hotel, Mercedes on standby all day, and a flexible plan: the D1091 road, a photo stop by the Chambon viewpoint, then La Grave while your driver handles parking and timing. With our private chauffeur in the Écrins, ride the historic cable car, take an easy Emparis plateau walk (about 1h30), and sit down to a farmhouse lunch around 1,450 m in Ventelon or Villar-d’Arène, before looping back through hamlets to catch sundials and the Romanesque church of Saint‑Pierre.

Your chauffeur’s tip
When a southerly wind is forecast, visibility can drop fast on ridgelines—start before 9 am and take the first cable car section early to catch steadier light on the Girose side.
