THE JOURNEY
The journey between Geneva Airport and Tignes Les Brevieres, the closest of the Tignes resorts, usually takes around 3 hours 5 minutes.
Tignes 1800 is another 10 to 15 minutes up the road, Le Lac is a further 10 minutes and Val Claret a quick 5 minute dart up the mountain.
The transfer times given above are approximations. We allow more time for the journey when we think the traffic may be bad, such as during the school holidays or when local events are taking place.
Our vehicles generally take the fastest and most direct route, via the A41 motorway and then the N90 national road through Annecy. The road between Moutiers and Bourg St Maurice (where we may ask you to change buses) can be subject to heavy traffic, especially between 8am – 12 noon. You should try to avoid travelling at these times, especially during the French school holidays. The last stretch of the journey is the D902 mountain road up to Tignes.
