The Lyon Airport to Les Orres route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the A43 and A48 to Grenoble, then follows the N85 — the Route Napoléon — south over the Col Bayard to Gap. From Gap the N94 runs east up the Durance valley, along Lac de Serre-Ponçon, to Embrun.
Embrun is where the valley road ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from there through Baratier up to Les Orres on the D40 takes 15 to 30 minutes depending on conditions — a winding ascent that gains altitude the whole way, and the part of the journey where knowing the road actually matters.
This is a long transfer — 3h 31min of driving, and worth planning around. A private vehicle means one journey with no changes and no waiting, but if your flight lands late in the evening you will arrive well into the night. Where the schedule allows, an earlier flight makes the day considerably easier.
Winter driving on this route
Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. Our vehicles run on winter tyres with chains carried as standard, so the driver fits them where the road demands it instead of joining the queue on the climb out of Embrun.
The Route Napoléon and the Durance valley road are cleared as main routes and stay open through the winter, so the exposed part of this transfer is the D40 above Embrun, which gains altitude quickly and holds snow well after the valley has been cleared. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col d’Izoard and the Col Agnel among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Lyon Airport to Les Orres?
Around 3h 31min for 232 km in normal conditions. Allow longer on peak Saturdays and in heavy snow, when the mountain section slows considerably.
How much does a transfer from Lyon Airport to Les Orres cost?
From €338 for a private vehicle carrying up to 8 passengers — about €42.25 per person when the vehicle is full. That is the weekday rate; Saturday and peak dates are priced higher, and the exact price is calculated on the real road distance to your address.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Les Orres?
Not for our transfers — the vehicle is already equipped. Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. We carry chains on every winter transfer and the driver fits them when the road requires it.
Why does the route go through Embrun?
Because there is no way around it. Embrun is the gateway to this valley, and every vehicle heading to Les Orres passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates.
Is the transfer private?
Yes. The vehicle is yours alone, door to door, with no shared stops and no waiting for other passengers to arrive.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Your flight is tracked and the driver adjusts to the actual landing time, at no extra charge. You do not need to rebook or call ahead.
