Lyon to Tignes Transfer: Airport to Resort
If you’re looking for a Lyon to Tignes transfer, you’re in the right place.
Alps2Alps operate an affordable, door to door service to and from this major ski resort. If you’re planning a holiday this season, we can help you make the most of the slopes!
Before you embark on your journey, here’s a closer look at all the travel information you need to know.
What’s the Transfer Time?
Your transfer to Tignes will usually take between 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours!
Bear in mind that journey times can differ widely depending on when you’re travelling. Expect to encounter delays during heavy traffic or poor weather conditions.
How Can You Cut Down on Travel Time?
For shorter transfer times, try avoiding the busiest periods, such as school holidays or weekends. If possible, go midweek.
You’ll not only enjoy quieter roads, but also quieter slopes - it’s a win-win!
Avoid public transport if you’re looking to maximise your time on the slopes. A bus from Lyon, for example, will take much longer due to waiting around and queuing.
How Much Will it Cost?
We always ensure to apply any discounts we can when working out the price of your transfer, which means your quote won’t ever be increased - only reduced!
We don’t have fixed prices, instead, we calculate our costs using our transparent pricing structure. We apply a standard tariff and then take into account your individual circumstances.
This includes the number of people travelling, the date and any additional charges, such as road tolls.
How Can You Bag a Bargain?
The French Alps are a hugely popular skiing destination, and have been for many years. But, that doesn’t mean you can’t find a discount if you’re looking to save money.
For the cheapest ski transfers, book midweek if possible. You can save up to 60% compared to the weekend.

Can My Driver Make Any Stops?

It always helps to look at other route options, should you need to make any changes to your booking. Geneva to Tignes is a hugely popular choice with keen skiers - and it’s likely you’ll find a greater choice of airlines flying to and from this airport.
What’s the Standard Route?
The standard route will take you via A43 (E70) motorway to Albertville, via Chambery, and then along national route N90 to Bourg St Maurice.
It will continue on Bourg St Maurice before climbing up the D902 and D87A to Tignes.

Simply inform us of your requirements when you book, or call us to let us know. We can provide a range of essential items, such as booster seats, should you need to.
All of our drivers are English-speaking, so don’t hesitate to ask if you need something. We can lower the temperature, adjust your seat or pull over if you’re feeling unwell.
