Endless queues, crowded shuttles, chaotic journeys... an obstacle course that could well be a thing of the past. Uber has just launched its \"\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.uber.com\/fr\/newsroom\/uber-ski-uber-vous-accompagne-au-pied-des-pistes-cet-hiver\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uber Ski<\/a>\" a new option that promises to take you to the most beautiful resorts in the French Alps with complete peace of mind.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From 4 February to 30 March 2025, winter sports fans will be able to book an \"Uber Ski\" journey directly via the app. The idea? A VTC service tailored to the demands of mountain holidays, with spacious vehicles such as vans capable of accommodating up to five passengers and a boot optimised for transporting skis and snowboards without a hitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A little bonus for passengers: Uber includes a few thoughtful touches in its vehicles. Cereal bars for sluggishness on the slopes, neck warmers for distracted passengers who always forget an accessory... A way of adding a little comfort and good humour to the journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/this-ski-resort-has-just-been-named-the-most-pleasant-in-france\/\">This ski resort has just been named \"the most pleasant in France\".<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This new service did not come out of nowhere. Uber has seen an explosion in demand in the Northern Alps: in 2024, 115,000 people opened the app in an attempt to order a ride in the region, an increase of 35 % compared to 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most popular destinations? Unsurprisingly, the resorts of <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/subject\/3-vallees\/\">Three Valleys<\/a> - <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/meribel-ski-resort-ski-passes-addresses-winter-guide-2023-2024\/\">M\u00e9ribel<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/courchevel-resort-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Courchevel<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/val-thorens-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Val Thorens<\/a> - top the rankings. But <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/les-arcs-resort-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Les Arcs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/val-disere-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-addresses-winter-guide\/\">Val d'Is\u00e8re<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/tignes-resort-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Tignes<\/a>, l'<a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/alpe-dhuez-ski-resort-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Alpe d'Huez<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/les-2-alpes-resort-ski-area-ski-passes-activities-winter-guide-2025\/\">Les 2 Alpes<\/a> are not to be outdone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\"Uber Ski\" also available in Europe <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forget the hassle of taking the bus and the long waits when you get off the train: \"Uber Ski\" is now available from strategic stations and airports in the Alps. Chamb\u00e9ry, Grenoble, Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Mo\u00fbtiers are the ideal starting points for getting to the most popular resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prices are fixed, ranging from \u20ac65 to \u20ac250 depending on the destination. A controlled cost that avoids unpleasant surprises when you arrive at your destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/petit-montagnard.fr\/en\/how-to-choose-the-right-winter-tyres\/\">How do I choose the right winter tyres?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good news for globetrotters on the slopes: \"Uber Ski\" doesn't stop at our borders. Germany, Austria, Spain, Switzerland, Sweden, Poland... Several European countries are now offering this service to facilitate access to the continent's most popular resorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With this new option, Uber is tackling a real logistical headache for skiers. It remains to be seen whether the experience will live up to expectations, but one thing is certain: the arrival of a VTC service designed specifically for the mountains could change the landscape of transport to ski resorts.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter holidays are approaching, and with them, the traditional hassle of transfers to ski resorts.
