How to Get to Tomorrowland Winter 2027: Grenoble, Lyon, Geneva or Chambéry?

Every March, Tomorrowland Winter turns Alpe d'Huez into one of the most spectacular festivals in the Alps. The resort sits at 1,860 m, at the top of the famous road of 21 hairpin bends — so planning how to get to Tomorrowland Winter is part of the adventure.

Four airports serve Alpe d'Huez. This guide compares them and explains every way to get to Tomorrowland Winter.

Which airport to get to Tomorrowland Winter?

* Squeed private Mercedes V-Class, fixed price per vehicle, up to 7 passengers. ** For a full group of 7. Drive times in normal traffic: allow extra time on Saturday 20 and 27 March.

From Grenoble Airport — the closest

Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport is about 110 km and 1h45 from Alpe d'Huez: motorway to Grenoble, then the Romanche valley to Le Bourg-d'Oisans, and the 21 hairpin bends up to the resort. It is mainly served by winter flights from the UK and Europe. Private transfer from €390.

From Lyon Airport — the most flights

Lyon Saint-Exupéry is about 155 km and 2 hours away, via Grenoble. It has flights from all over Europe and its own TGV station, so you can also arrive by train from Paris. Private transfer from €450 — see our Lyon to Alpe d'Huez transfer.

From Chambéry Airport — quick and easy

Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc is a small airport about 125 km and 2 hours away: you are out of arrivals quickly. Flights are mostly on winter weekends. Private transfer from €390 — see our Chambéry to Alpe d'Huez transfer.

From Geneva Airport — the most UK flights

Geneva is the farthest, about 225 km and 3 hours, via Annecy, Chambéry and Grenoble — and you cross the Swiss–French border, so bring your passport or ID card. But it has the widest choice of flights from the UK. Private transfer from €550.

Your options to get to Tomorrowland Winter

Private transfer — the easiest for groups

Your driver tracks your flight, waits in arrivals with a name sign and drives your group straight to your apartment in Alpe d'Huez — no change, no waiting for other passengers. Bigger group? A Mercedes Sprinter takes 8 to 16 people, coaches up to 50. You can also keep a private chauffeur for the whole festival week, from €800 per day.

Shared shuttle

Shuttles to the Oisans resorts run in winter, and Tomorrowland usually offers official travel packages that can include transport. Cheaper per seat, but fixed timetables and no waiting if your flight is late. Check the official Tomorrowland website.

Rental car

Winter tyres or snow chains are mandatory in French mountain areas until 31 March (see Sécurité routière), the hairpin bends can be tricky in snow, and parking in Alpe d'Huez is limited and often paid all week.

Train and coach

From all four airports you can reach Grenoble by train or bus, then take a regional coach to Alpe d'Huez. It is the cheapest option for light travellers, but with one or two changes and a long day with festival luggage.

Our tips for Tomorrowland Winter arrival day

• Book your transport as soon as you have your festival pass — 20 and 27 March are among the busiest days of the season.
• Choose your airport by flight, not by distance: a direct flight to Lyon or Geneva often beats a connection to Grenoble.
• Send your flight number to your driver so the pick-up follows your real landing time.
• Book the return at the same time, for Saturday 27 March.
• Pack warm clothes in your hand luggage: it can be below zero in Alpe d'Huez in the evening, even in late March.
