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.
Booking a transfer from Turin Airport (TRN) to Tignes covers 245 km in around 3 hours 10 minutes, crossing the Fréjus tunnel, passing Albertville, and climbing the full Tarentaise valley to the resort’s 2,100 m altitude. Fixed pricing, real-time flight tracking and a private vehicle are included — no shared shuttle stops.
Route overview
Tignes sits higher than most of its Tarentaise neighbours, wrapped around its own reservoir at over 2,100 m, and the drive from Turin reflects that — the Vanoise massif rules out any direct road, so the route runs west through the Fréjus tunnel, drops down toward Albertville, and only then turns south for a long, steady climb up the Tarentaise valley to the resort.
Because the resort is split across several villages at different altitudes (Tignes-le-Lac, Val Claret, Tignes 1800), and because the drive itself runs to over three hours, a private transfer that already knows exactly where your accommodation sits — and paces the whole journey properly — makes a real difference compared with a shared shuttle stopping everywhere along the way.
Your private transfer
Your driver waits in the arrivals hall at Turin Airport, helps load skis and luggage, and heads west through the Fréjus tunnel into French Savoie. From there the road drops toward Albertville before turning up the full length of the Tarentaise valley past Bourg-Saint-Maurice, climbing steadily to Tignes, with the final few kilometres winding above the treeline into the high bowl. It’s a long, single continuous drive — one vehicle, one driver, the scenery doing most of the work. You’re taken straight to your specific village and door — Le Lac, Val Claret or wherever you’re staying — not a general drop-off point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does the Turin Airport to Tignes transfer take?
Around 3 hours 10 minutes for the 245 km route. The Vanoise massif blocks a direct road, so the drive detours via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville before climbing the Tarentaise valley.
Why is the drive so much longer than the straight-line distance suggests?
There’s no through road over the mountains between Turin and Tignes. The route has to go around via the Fréjus tunnel and Albertville before turning back up the Tarentaise valley, which adds significant distance.
Do you go through the Fréjus tunnel?
Yes, the route crosses into France via the Fréjus road tunnel, passes Albertville, and climbs the Tarentaise valley to Tignes.
Tignes has several villages — will we be dropped at the right one?
Yes, your driver takes you directly to your booked address, whether that’s Tignes-le-Lac, Val Claret or Tignes 1800, not a general resort car park.
Can you carry our ski and snowboard bags?
Yes, ski and snowboard equipment is carried free of charge for every passenger on this route.
What happens if our flight into Turin is delayed?
Your flight is tracked automatically, so the driver adjusts to your real landing time — no extra fee, no need to call ahead.
