Where will I meet my driver at Grenoble Airport?
As soon as you have landed at Grenoble Alpes Isère Airport and collected your suitcases, walk to the rendezvous point set out in your confirmation. Your driver is already there.
The airport is found at Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs, on the western side of Grenoble, which means your trip to Tignes starts outside the city, with a run through the Isère before the main routes towards Savoie.
Your driver checks your flight before it lands and sets the pickup by your actual arrival time. When your party, luggage and skis are loaded, you head straight for Tignes in a vehicle booked for you alone.
You stay in the same car from start to finish: nothing to change at Grenoble, Chambéry or Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
What if my flight to Grenoble is delayed?
Your actual arrival time is monitored before pickup.
If the aircraft is early or late, your driver is told its real arrival time and moves the rendezvous to match your exit from the terminal.
The journey from Grenoble Airport to Tignes
Leaving the Saint-Étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs area, the route joins the main Alpine roads and heads for Savoie.
That opening stretch is specific to departures from Grenoble: before reaching the Tarentaise, you must first get onto the principal Alpine axis and carry on to Albertville.
Albertville is where the long climb up the Tarentaise begins. Your driver follows the N90 to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, passing Moûtiers, Aime and Landry on the way.
Tignes stands in the upper Tarentaise, a good deal further than the junctions for Courchevel, Méribel or La Plagne.
Beyond Bourg-Saint-Maurice the transfer enters its most mountainous phase: the official winter access follows the D902 up to the resort, steadily gaining height.
The first district reached is Tignes 1800, followed by the sectors higher up. Le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac and Val Claret lie several kilometres further on.
Grenoble to Tignes therefore combines three stages: a long approach out of the Isère, a full crossing of the Tarentaise, and a final high-mountain climb. In winter this last section, between Bourg-Saint-Maurice and Tignes, is the one most likely to be snowy, even though it is regularly cleared.
Arriving in Tignes
Tignes cannot be reached at a single point: the resort is made up of Tignes 1800, Le Lavachet, Tignes Le Lac and Val Claret, and your stay is in one of them.
Coming from Bourg-Saint-Maurice, Tignes 1800 appears first. The road then runs on to Le Lavachet and Tignes Le Lac, and finally to Val Claret, deeper into the resort.
From one sector to another, the gap amounts to several kilometres on the last part of the transfer.
You are set down right beside your accommodation whenever the road allows it, or at the nearest accessible spot if not.
At the time of booking, add the name of your lodging along with the part of Tignes it stands in.
These details let us prepare the right access in advance and avoid any mix-up between the various districts of Tignes.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Grenoble Airport to Tignes take?
Count on about 208 km to Tignes and close to 210 km to Val Claret.
On clear roads, the journey usually takes 2 hrs 30 to 2 hrs 50.
On winter Saturdays, traffic in the Tarentaise valley or snow beyond Bourg-Saint-Maurice can add noticeably to that time.
Where is the route most demanding in winter?
It is the final leg, from Bourg-Saint-Maurice up to Tignes, that is the most mountainous.
After the N90, the route follows the D902 and gains altitude gradually up to the resort.
This stretch is more exposed to snow than the major roads used earlier in the trip.
Will my driver take me right up to Val Claret?
Yes.
Your driver goes to the point nearest to your Val Claret accommodation that a car can reach.
You can also be dropped at Tignes 1800, Le Lavachet or Tignes Le Lac.
Just give your sector and exact address when you book.
Can I book the return from Tignes to Grenoble Airport?
Yes.
You may book the return with the outward trip, or separately whenever you prefer.
Your departure time depends on the district of Tignes you stay in, the time of your flight and the state of the roads expected that day.
Leaving from Val Claret or Tignes Le Lac, count on the descent towards Bourg-Saint-Maurice, then the length of the Tarentaise valley, before you reach Grenoble airport. Keep an extra margin on busy Saturdays and whenever snow is announced.
