Advice on Transportation to Villard de Lans
With such close proximity to Villard de Lans, it is of course perfectly possible to get from Grenoble or Chambery into the centre of the resort by means of public transport. However, it’s important to understand that direct services are largely non-existent and even if you don’t have to transfer a couple of times along the way, dozens of stops will see the journey take a great deal longer than it needs to.
Instead, we always recommend booking your ticket in advance with a safe, fast, reliable and affordable ski resort transfer service and lighten the load from the very moment you arrive.
