Flying
The main
airport used is Geneva however
Chambery, Lyon and Grenoble are also used. As a rough guide: Lots of
carriers fly to Geneva and hence you can often get the best prices by flying to Geneva
if you hunt around. Geneva also has the most frequent bus service to and from
Tignes. Lyon has a number of carriers and a reasonably frequent bus
service and can be a good option. Ryanair and Easyjet fly to Grenoble
and you can get some good prices however you will need to get a hire
car or a private transfer to get you to Tignes.
Chambery is the closest airport however you may find it difficult
to get a good price. |

Private Transfers
We currently run a number of vehicles and also work
with other local companies running minibuses which have 8
passenger seats. Book early to
avoid disappointment (especially Sat). The prices are door to door return
prices from the airport to the resort & back to the
airport. Vehicles are predominantly VW Transporters.
