Tignes Airport Transfers

Tignes Airport TransfersBen’s Bus operates regular week-end transfers to Tignes from Geneva, Grenoble and Lyon Airports. Geneva Airport is probably the most convenient airport as it’s the closest and has so many flights, but Grenoble and Lyon are both good alternatives. With prices from just over £43pp, shared transfers are the cheapest and most environmentally friendly way of getting to Tignes. We generally use larger coaches, which offer a more comfortable journey as they have more space than private taxis or hire cars.

 

 

Tignes is a hugely popular French ski resort, linked with Val d’Isere. Their combined ski area boasts an impressive 300km of piste and enjoys an enviable snow record. The resort is split into 4 villages. All our transfers make stops at Tignes Les Brevieres, Tignes 1800, Tignes Le Lac (for Le Lavachet) and Tignes Val Claret. Our Ben’s Bus Plus upgrade gives you greater refund protection and flexibility to change your booking for free.

A GUIDE TO TIGNES

 

Tignes Transfer BusTignes and Val d’Isere make up the amazing ski area formerly known as “Espace Killy”. It offers some of the best skiing in the world. There are 300km of marked runs, serviced by 88 ski lifts. Although it has a wide range of pistes catering for all types (27 black runs, 40 reds, 66 blues and 23 greens) it is really a resort for intermediate and advanced skiers. Its position between the French and Italian Alps gives it a consistent and reliable snowfall. This, as well as the access to 2 glaciers, including the famous Grand Motte Glacier, ensures your holiday is snow guaranteed.

 

The ski resort of Tignes was conceived in the 1950’s, when the French government-built a dam flooded the original village. The resulting purpose built resort, located further up the mountain, suffered from the architectural style of the time. However, what the resort lacks in architectural aesthetics, it makes up for in skiing and facilities. It has plenty of bars, cafes and restaurants and a modern sports and leisure complex. It is an affordable alternative to its glamorous neighbour, Val d’Isere.
