My friends and I are interested in skiing in Vaujany and I would appreciate any information but particularly regarding access to green runs and also public transport from nearest airport. We don%26#39;t fancy hiring a car.

Hi there - a good option is to take either a bus from grenoble airport to Vaujany itself or a transfer taxi provided for by Bensbus.com - Access to Green runs in the village is pretty easy - no real ski in ski out as most of the village area faces the slopes and is not on the slopes so its matter of a small lift from the village - great service, easy and quick with little queuing in my experience! bon chance!

Thanks Martyn - we%26#39;ve moved forward a bit since I posted the request and have a booked an apartment in Vaujany - unfortunately we can%26#39;t fly to Grenoble from our local airport (Newcastle) so are having to fly into Chambery. I have yet to find a reasonable deal on public transport to Vaujany from Chambery so I guess we are going to have to be brave and hire a car!
I am pleased to hear that there are some accessible green runs for our beginners and I gather it%26#39;s easy enough to get to Alpe D%26#39;Huez. You wouldn%26#39;t happen to know if there are ski lockers at the top of the lifts would you? We had them in El Tarter and they were a godsend.

Hi Susan,
Not sure about lockers at the top of the lifts - never seen any but there the ski shop close to Vaujany%26#39;s main lift system (Atou Sport) run by Thierry is a good place for you to leave things if you hire from him of course!.
Have a great trip and hope to be able to help you out in the future,
Martyn

Susan - one more thing ... you could try http://www.alp-line.com for transfer to Vaujany from Chambery (about 1.5 hours easy, (mostly motorway) drive. They are running a 30% discount for winter transfers booked before end August...
bon chance

Thanks so much for your help Martyn. I love this site for allowing you to be in contact with people %26#39;in the know%26#39;. It makes booking trips independently much more reassuring, although the lady who we are renting the accommodation from seems very helpful also. I think we will take your advice and rent from the ski shop nearest to the lifts so we can leave stuff there overnight - I%26#39;m afraid us girls are all for the easy life.
I%26#39;ve checked with alp-line and also with skicab.com who are a little bit cheaper still.
Do you have a view on the reliability of either of these operators?
