There are 3 options for travelling to Tignes:
Planes
There are numerous options for flights from UK airports with budget airlines along with scheduled and charter flights. The nearest airport is Chambery (approx 2 hours drive), but there is a much greater selection of flights to Geneva and Lyon (both approx 2 hours 45 minutes drive). Easyjet fly to Geneva regularly from various UK airports, there are also budget options with Ryanair who fly to Grenoble (approx 2 hours drive).
Trains
The nearest station is Bourg St Maurice, the end of the line. Journey to Les Boisses takes about 20 minutes by road. It is possible to travel via Eurostar to Lille or Paris and then catch an overnight sleeper or TGV to Bourg St Maurice. French Motor-rail operates from Paris with overnight sleeper carriages if you'd like to take your car without driving all the way.
Automobiles
Tignes Les Boisses is approx 9.5 hours from Calais, mostly on motorway. This can be a very reasonable way to get to this part of France for a small party (depending on your car's running costs!). There are cheap ferries & fuel is less expensive over the channel. Motorway tolls cost approx £60 return dependent on your route.
With your own transport in the resort, you will have total freedom. This will be particularly useful in the summer months when there are many activities taking place in various parts of the area.
Please contact us for ferry recommendations & suggested routes.
Transfers
We can arrange transfers in our minibus on certain days of the week and these are inclusive in some of our offers. Our transfers are not tailor made to suit individual flights as you may not be our only inbound or outbound passengers on your particular day of travel. If you are our only passengers on the day we will try to coincide our transfer times with your flights. In any case we endeavour to keep waiting times for our guests to an absolute minimum, but it can sometimes be unavoidable.
We would recommend only using our transfers if you are completely relaxed about waiting. If, before or after an airport transfer you do have time on your hands you could use the time to visit Geneva, which is very easy to get to from the airport and also has a very good left luggage facility.
An alternative is to use our car hire offer. This would give you freedom to fly at the most convenient times for you and give you freedom in resort to explore many places around Tignes
