Book Tignes → LyonTips for this journey
- Give your flight number and the number of ski or snowboard bags when you book. Passenger seats and luggage space are not the same thing.
- The road to Tignes climbs high into the mountains. After fresh snow the last climb can be slow and chains may be required; allow extra time on the return to the airport.
- Saturday is changeover day in most Alpine resorts, so roads and airports are at their busiest. A midweek or Sunday arrival is usually quicker.
- Use your full accommodation address. Two chalets "in Tignes" can be far apart, and some are only reachable on foot or by a local shuttle.
- Kiwitaxi also lists drop-offs nearby (Tignes Rhone Alpes). Pick the one closest to where you are staying.
