Why Choose a Private 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.
