Eau d'Olle Express gondola lift
Less than 1 hour from Grenoble and 1 hour and 45 minutes from Lyon, leave your car in Allemond and reach the Espace Alpe d'Huez in 8 minutes via the Eau d'Olle Express! In both summer and winter, this gondola provides easy access to activities from the valley while reducing traffic.
The Eau d'Olle Express is the gateway to the Espace Alpe d’Huez from the valley. In Allemond, park your car for free in the covered parking garage, then reach the Oz 3300 resort in just 8 minutes—instead of 20 minutes by car! From there, the ski lifts make it easy to continue on to Alpe d’Huez, Vaujany, Villard-Reculas, and Auris-en-Oisans.
STRESS-FREE ACCESS TO THE ESPACE ALPE D’HUEZ VIA SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION
In winter, this is the best way to reach the Espace Alpe d’Huez ski area while avoiding traffic, mandatory special equipment, delays, and the hassle of finding a parking spot in the resort. Espace Alpe d’Huez ski passes include access to the Eau d’Olle Express gondola.
In summer, the Eau d’Olle Express lets you quickly reach the hiking trails, mountain bike routes, bike parks, and ski lifts of the Espace Alpe d’Huez, without having to drive between the valley and the resorts.
So, settle into one of the 10-seat cabins, sit back comfortably, and enjoy the view of Lake Verney and the Belledonne Massif. It’s a refreshing change of scenery before arriving directly at the Espace Alpe d’Huez ski area.

Sustainable tourism
Reducing traffic on mountain roads—which can sometimes be difficult to navigate due to snow—is a concern for both local officials and mountain enthusiasts.
By providing a fast, safe, and environmentally friendly connection between the valley and the high-altitude resorts, the Eau d’Olle Express actively promotes changes in travel habits aimed at achieving a carbon-neutral mountain region.
Add to that a bus service from the Grenoble bus station to Allemond on weekends and during school breaks, plus a free shuttle between Le Bourg-d’Oisans and Allemond for vacationers and residents of the lowlands, and cars stay in the parking lot!
