Chamrousse
Chamrousse is the ski resort above Grenoble in the Belledonne range, known for hosting the alpine skiing events of the 1968 Winter Olympics and for its views over the city and the Vercors. It suits families, weekend skiers and walkers in summer. A private car takes you straight from Geneva to the resort, with no change in Grenoble.
Chauffeur's tipChamrousse has two main bases, Roche Béranger and Recoin: tell us which one is nearest your accommodation to save a detour.
The route from Geneva Airport
After crossing into France, your chauffeur takes the A41 south past Annecy and Chambéry, then follows the Grésivaudan valley towards Grenoble. Before entering the city the car heads up towards Uriage-les-Bains, a small spa town, and climbs through the forest to Chamrousse. The full journey takes about two hours in normal traffic, longer on busy winter weekends around Grenoble.
Arriving in Chamrousse
The resort is split between Chamrousse 1650 (Recoin) and Chamrousse 1750 (Roche Béranger), with residences, hotels and lifts at both. The ski area offers wide runs on the shoulders of the Croix de Chamrousse, and in summer the plateau and the Robert lakes attract hikers. Your driver drops you at the door of your residence or hotel in the right sector. With AirportsTransfers.ch you can also book onward travel into Grenoble, for example for a train or a meeting.
Practical advice
- The mountain road from Uriage is well maintained but can be snowy; our cars are winter-equipped.
- Declare skis at booking; the V-Class van takes up to 7 passengers and 10 bags.
- Request child seats if you travel with young children.
- Book the return trip in advance to keep the same fixed price.
Because Chamrousse is close to Grenoble, it is also a good choice for a chauffeur by the hour, minimum two hours, if you split your stay between city and mountain.
