Enter your exact pickup and drop-off address — not just a resort name. Our booking system is connected to Google Maps and prices by the real distance of your journey in kilometres, so you pay a fair rate for your actual trip — not a fixed resort-zone price like many other companies.
From Tignes to Turin Airport (TRN) is 245 km, roughly 3 hours 10 minutes, down through the Tarentaise valley, past Albertville, and through the Fréjus tunnel into Italy. Pickup happens at your Tignes accommodation, timed with a generous buffer for altitude, distance and the tunnel so you reach check-in with time in hand, not a scramble.
Route overview
Getting off the mountain from Tignes takes longer than most people expect, if only because the descent from 2,100 m winds through a steeper stretch of road before it settles into the Tarentaise valley proper — and from there it’s still a long run down to Albertville before the road turns east toward the Fréjus tunnel. Whether you’re staying in Tignes-le-Lac, Val Claret or up at 1800, the drive to Turin starts the same way: down, then a long way east.
A private car collects you at your specific address rather than a shared pickup point, which matters in Tignes more than most resorts given how spread out the villages are — and matters even more on a transfer this long, where a single well-paced vehicle beats a shuttle changeover every time. From there it’s the Tarentaise valley, Albertville, the Fréjus tunnel, and a clean run into the terminal.
Your private transfer
Your driver arrives at your Tignes accommodation — Le Lac, Val Claret or 1800 — at a time set to match your flight, factoring in the descent and any morning traffic near the resort exit. The route drops down the Tarentaise valley through Bourg-Saint-Maurice, continues to Albertville, and crosses the Fréjus tunnel into Italy before the final stretch onto the Piedmont plain toward Turin, with your driver keeping a comfortable margin around the tunnel in case of queues. It’s a long drive home, covered in one unhurried, private vehicle. You’re dropped directly at departures.
