Oz en Oisans Airport Transfers
Although we do not offer direct Oz en Oisans airport transfers, we can take you most of the way, from either Grenoble Airport or Lyon Airport. Oz en Oisans is connected by pistes to Alpe d’Huez but it is accessed by a completely separate road which comes up from Rochetaillee, a small hamlet close to Bourg d’Oisans. Ben’s Bus only offers an airport shuttle to Rochetaillee (from Grenoble Airport) or Bourg d’Oisans (from Grenoble and Lyon Airports). From there you will need to make your own transport arrangements for the short journey up to Oz.

OZ EN OISANS SKI RESORT
Oz en Oisans sits at an altitude of 1350m in the department of Isere in the Southern Alps. It is linked to Alpe d’Huez by ski lifts and forms part of the Grand Domaine ski area, offering 250km of varied piste. It is popular with families as it has 3 easy ski lifts and runs and has a village ski resort feel to it. Although built recently (1989) the construction was tastefully done and most of the chalets and apartment blocks are clad in wood and stone, creating an authentic mountain atmosphere amongst the many fir trees. There is a public swimming pool, an ice rink and floodlit night skiing and tobogganing. The resort is quite small which makes it a perfect family destination as everything is within easy walking distance of your accommodation.

Bourg d’Oisans is the main transport hub for the area. There is a frequent bus service that departs from Bourg d’Oisans for Oz en Oisans at week-ends, although they are less frequent on weekdays. All these services do pass through and stop at Rochetaillee. However, if you decide to take this option, we would strongly recommend you book our service to Bourg d’Oisans and not Rochetaillee, since the Rochetaillee bus stop is quite isolated and there are better waiting facilities at Bourg d’Oisans. The service is run by a local company, Transisere.
