Where will I meet my driver at Geneva Airport?
After landing and picking up your bags, make your way to the meeting point shown in your booking confirmation: your driver is already there.
Your flight is tracked before it touches down, and the pickup is timed to your real arrival.
As soon as your group, luggage and skis are loaded, the car sets off from the airport for Tignes; it is yours alone for the trip.
No change of vehicle on the way: no connection in Annecy, in Bourg-Saint-Maurice or anywhere in the valley.
What if my flight to Geneva is delayed?
A delay changes nothing: your plane’s real arrival time is followed.
Early or late, your driver is sent the new arrival time and adjusts the meeting point to when you come out of arrivals.
The journey from Geneva Airport to Tignes
Leaving Geneva, the road crosses the border and runs towards the Alps through the Annecy area, as far as Albertville, which opens the Tarentaise valley.
From Albertville your driver follows the N90 up to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, leaving Moûtiers, Aime and Landry behind in turn.
Tignes lies much deeper in the upper Tarentaise than La Plagne or Les Arcs: after Bourg-Saint-Maurice, a long stretch of road still remains.
The route then takes the D902, the resort’s main road access, which climbs steadily towards the dam and the various villages of Tignes.
Depending on your destination, the driver stops at Tignes 1800 or carries on to Le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac and finally Val Claret.
This last high-altitude section is the one most exposed to winter conditions.
Snow, arrival-day traffic and cold can add a good deal to the time needed to reach the resort.
Arriving in Tignes
Tignes is not a single arrival point: the resort is spread over several villages at different altitudes. Your accommodation may be in Tignes 1800, Le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac or Val Claret.
The exact sector matters, because the transfer does not end in the same place for every booking.
Tignes 1800 comes before the main high-altitude districts; Le Lavachet and Tignes Le Lac lie higher, and Val Claret means driving even further into the resort.
Your driver drops you as near as possible to your hotel, residence or chalet door, wherever the road is open to vehicles.
So do write down your sector and the full name of your accommodation when you book.
In Tignes this detail is valuable: the layout of districts, car parks and access roads differs from one residence to the next.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to reach Tignes from Geneva Airport?
Count on about 165 km to Tignes Le Lac and 167 km to Val Claret.
When the road is clear, the drive generally lasts 2 hrs 40 to 3 hrs.
On winter Saturdays, heavy Tarentaise traffic or snow on the D902 can lengthen it noticeably.
Which Tignes sector should I choose: 1800, Le Lac or Val Claret?
Always state the sector where your accommodation stands, plus the complete name of the hotel, chalet or residence.
Tignes 1800, Le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac and Val Claret are four distinct arrival points.
Val Claret lies further along the road than Tignes Le Lac, so it adds a few extra kilometres.
Which road is taken to reach Tignes in winter?
The usual winter access runs through Albertville, then along the N90 to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
From there, the D902 climbs up to Tignes.
The tourist office warns against certain GPS routes over the Petit-Saint-Bernard or Iseran passes, which are closed in winter.
Your transfer is organised around the winter road access suited to the resort.
Can I book the return from Tignes to Geneva Airport?
Yes.
The return can be booked alongside the outbound trip or on its own; the departure time depends on your Tignes sector, your flight schedule and the state of the valley.
From Val Claret or Tignes Le Lac, allow time to come back down to Bourg-Saint-Maurice before driving on towards Geneva.
Take extra safety margin on busy Saturdays and whenever snowfall is forecast.
