Venosc gondola
Ski & resorts
The Venosc gondola takes you in under 10 minutes from the car-free village of Venosc, deep in the Vénéon valley, up to the resort of Les 2 Alpes, perched at 1,650 m. Open to walkers, skiers and mountain bikers in both summer and winter, it's the easiest way up to the resort from Le Bourg-d'Oisans, with no hairpin road and no parking hassle. At the top you'll find the foot of the slopes, the trails and the terraces of the Alpe de Venosc; at the bottom, the village's lanes of craft workshops and, in summer, the Tuesday morning market.

No booking: tickets from the ticket office or the machines at the foot of the gondola in Venosc and at the top station, or online at skipass-2alpes.com (the resort's official ticketing). Information on +33 4 76 79 75 01; Venosc tourist information office on +33 4 76 79 22 00 / [email protected].
Bottom station: in the heart of Venosc village, next to the tourist information office (355 route de Bourg), Les Deux Alpes, 38520 Venosc. Bottom station GPS: 44.9876, 6.1161. Top station: Alpe de Venosc, 38860 Les Deux Alpes. Not to be confused with the “Super Venosc” gondola, a ski lift inside the resort.
From Le Cosy Lodge, about 15 minutes on the flat D530 to Venosc: park in the village at the foot of the gondola rather than driving up to Les 2 Alpes, where parking is paid and always full, check the time of the last ride down before you go up, and bring an extra layer, as it's noticeably cooler at 1,650 m.
