We allow 5 h 20 on the road, 15 min margin and 2 h for check‑in.
Tignes, five villages and a lake
Tignes is not one centre but five sites staggered from 1,550 m to 2,100 m: Les Brévières, Les Boisses, Tignes 1800, Le Lac and Val Claret. Your chauffeur needs the name of your residence, not just “Tignes”: Les Brévières to Val Claret is 20 minutes of mountain road.
From the airport you climb past the Chevril dam after Bourg‑Saint‑Maurice: Tignes is the last stop before Val d'Isère, 20 minutes further over the pass. The Grande Motte glacier opens in October.

A valid ID card is enough for Swiss and EU nationals; other passports should be to hand. Our vehicles are registered for cross‑border trips and there is usually no stop at customs.
Where do I meet the chauffeur at the EuroAirport?
The airport has a Swiss exit and a French exit. Your chauffeur waits at the exit shown on your confirmation (Swiss by default, French for Alsace) with a name board.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight number live. Your chauffeur adjusts to the actual landing time and waits at the Swiss sector exit; 60 minutes of waiting are included beyond that. No fees, nothing to do.
Are skis and bulky luggage accepted?
Yes. The E‑Class takes 3 suitcases and a ski bag; the V‑Class up to 7 suitcases with a ski rack; the Sprinter has a trailer on request. Tell us your equipment when booking, there is no surcharge.
Is the road safe when it snows?
Our vehicles run winter tyres and carry chains, and our chauffeurs know these roads in winter. If a road is closed we drop you at the nearest access point and adjust the price.
Are there busy periods for getting to Tignes?
Yes: October opening, Tignes Coolest Weekend. On those days we leave earlier and the chauffeur follows live traffic; the price does not change.
