Why Choose a Door-to-Door Transfer to Tignes?
Tignes shares the upper Tarentaise with Val d’Isère, so the route follows the A43 and A430 to Bourg-Saint-Maurice before climbing the D902 up the Isère valley. The turn-off at Les Boisses leads to the resort’s high-altitude levels, with Tignes le Lac and Val Claret sitting above 2,100 metres. The exposed upper road can close briefly for avalanche control in heavy snow, so a private driver who knows the current conditions and drives this route daily is far more dependable than a shared shuttle on such a remote, high mountain road.

About Tignes
Tignes is a high-altitude resort spread across several levels, from Tignes les Brévières at 1,550 metres up to Val Claret at 2,100 metres, and linked with Val d’Isère to form the 300 km Espace Killy. Crowned by the Grande Motte glacier at 3,456 metres, it offers some of the most reliable snow in the Alps and skiing well into spring. Purpose-built and functional rather than picturesque, Tignes rewards keen skiers with vast terrain, superb off-piste and a season that stretches from autumn into early May.
The Lyon Airport to Tignes route in detail
The drive leaves Lyon Airport on the A43 towards Chambéry, then the A430 to Albertville and the N90 up the Tarentaise valley through Moûtiers to Bourg-Saint-Maurice. From Bourg-Saint-Maurice the road climbs through Séez and Sainte-Foy-en-Tarentaise on the D902. The stretch around the Chevril dam is the known bottleneck on Saturday changeover days.
Bourg-Saint-Maurice is where the motorway ends and the mountain section begins. The climb from Bourg-Saint-Maurice up to Tignes takes 30 to 50 minutes depending on conditions — a continuously winding ascent that gains altitude the whole way, and the part of the journey where knowing the road actually matters.
Winter driving on this route
Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. Our vehicles run on winter tyres with chains carried as standard, so the driver fits them where the road demands it instead of joining the queue on the roadside above Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
The upper D902 hairpins hold snowpack through the season, and the climb past Séez is where under-equipped vehicles come unstuck. Satellite navigation will sometimes route over cols that are closed all winter — the Col de la Madeleine, Col de l’Iseran, Cormet de Roselend and Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard among them. Drivers who run these roads daily do not follow a screen into them.
How much does a Lyon to Tignes transfer cost?
A Lyon to Tignes transfer costs from €313 (approx. £269) at the weekday rate, with luggage and skis included. That is the standard or shared transfer for up to 3 passengers, priced per booking. Private vehicles are priced per vehicle, not per seat:
| Transfer | From (weekday) | Per person when full |
|---|---|---|
| Standard or shared, up to 3 passengers | €313 (approx. £269) | €104.33 |
| Private 7-seat minivan | €346 (approx. £298) | €49.43 |
| Private 8-seat minibus | €367 (approx. £316) | €45.88 |
Saturdays and peak dates are priced higher. The exact price for your date and address is shown before you pay: see the price for your Lyon to Tignes transfer.
Private or shared transfer from Lyon to Tignes?
We offer both. The standard or shared transfer is the lowest fare: it is for parties of up to 3 passengers, runs door to door, and you may share the minivan with other travellers, with a maximum of 3 stops on the route (if no other travellers book the same journey, it runs as a standard transfer for your party alone); under our terms the airport pick-up for a shared transfer may take place up to two hours after the scheduled time. A private transfer is a vehicle for your party only: it leaves when you have landed and stops only at your door, from €346 for a 7-seat minivan and from €367 for an 8-seat minibus, which works out at from €45.88 each when eight travel together. Read our guide to shared vs private transfer cost per person.
Lyon to Tignes by bus, shuttle, train or taxi
Bus and shuttle. Scheduled coaches and shared shuttle buses, where they run on this route, work to fixed timetables and stop at set points rather than at your door, so check the times against your flight.
Train. The nearest railway station to Tignes is Bourg-Saint-Maurice; from there you still need a bus, taxi or lift connection up to the resort.
Taxi. A Lyon to Tignes taxi taken from the airport rank is priced on the day rather than agreed in advance. A pre-booked transfer is the same door-to-door journey with the price confirmed before you travel, from €313.
By car. With car hire you drive the mountain road yourself and need winter tyres or snow chains in season.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the transfer from Lyon Airport to Tignes?
The drive is around 215 km and takes approximately 2h 40min in normal conditions. Heavy snow on the upper Tarentaise or peak Saturday changeover traffic can extend the journey.
Which Tignes levels do you serve?
We serve all levels of Tignes — les Brévières, les Boisses (Tignes 1800), Tignes le Lac and Val Claret — taking you directly to your chosen address.
What are the winter road conditions like?
The motorway to Bourg-Saint-Maurice is well maintained, but the D902 up to Tignes is high and exposed, and can close briefly for avalanche control after heavy snowfall. Our drivers use fully winter-equipped vehicles and monitor conditions closely.
Is ski and snowboard equipment included?
Yes. Skis, snowboards and luggage are carried free of charge. Please let us know your equipment and group size when booking so we send a suitably sized vehicle.
Can I book a return transfer to Lyon Airport?
Yes. We provide fixed-price return transfers from Tignes to Lyon-Saint Exupéry. Book both legs together and your driver confirms the resort pick-up time in advance.
Do I need snow chains for a transfer to Tignes?
Not for our transfers — the vehicle is already equipped. Under the Loi Montagne, vehicles travelling to French Alpine resorts must carry winter tyres or snow chains between 1 November and 31 March. This is enforced, not advisory. We carry chains on every winter transfer and the driver fits them when the road requires it.
Why does the route go through Bourg-Saint-Maurice?
Because there is no way around it. Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the gateway to this valley, and every vehicle heading to Tignes passes through it. It is also where peak-Saturday traffic concentrates, which is why the same journey can take noticeably longer on a changeover day.
How much of the journey is mountain road?
The motorway section runs as far as Bourg-Saint-Maurice. From there the climb to Tignes takes 30 to 50 minutes, and that final section is the part most affected by snow and weekend traffic.
