Useful advice for getting here from the airport by car In bad weather, from Grenoble, head for the Fréjus tunnel (31.20€ per car) via the N90, the A41 and the A43 towards Italy. Once in Italy, take the E70 then the A32, the Sestrières exit.
Near Oulx take the N94 towards Mongenèvre (pass at altitude of 1850m). You are now in the Hautes Alpes. Second option: go via the N91 (through Vizelle) straight from Grenoble and continue along the road that crosses the Col du Lautaret. It is worth stopping to take in the views in La Grave. Continue via the villages of the Serre Chevalier valley and Briançon…
