GRENOBLE AIRPORT > TIGNES
Our last bus on Saturday leaves Grenoble Airport in the mid-late afternoon. If you arrive too late for any of our services, we would recommend taking a private transfer. You could also consider staying in a hotel near Grenoble Airport overnight and catching our Sunday morning service.
Our only bus on Sunday departs Grenoble Airport in the late morning.
TIGNES > GRENOBLE AIRPORT
We only have morning services on Saturdays from Tignes. The traffic leaving Tignes from about 10am – 2pm can be totally gridlocked, and so we have had to stop our lunchtime service. If you are flying out of Grenoble Airport on an evening flight, we do have an early afternoon service from Moutiers, a town on the valley floor. The best way to get to Moutiers is to take a bus or taxi to Bourg St Maurice and then take a train to Moutiers. The train avoids the horrific traffic jams than can happen between Bourg and Moutiers.
We only have one early morning Sunday service from Tignes.
You may, therefore, be better to book 2 sets of Singles, either to / from Tignes and then to / from Moutiers.

The transfer time between Grenoble Airport & Tignes Les Brevieres is usually between 3 hours 30 minutes to 4 hours.

We allow extra time on certain dates & certain times of the day when we know the traffic may be bad. With years of experience driving this route, we know how long to allow for the journey depending on the time and date of the transfer. Once you put your details into our online booking system, we will show you a list of the available bus times.
