Getting here from Ireland | Getting here from the UK

For those of you travelling from the UK there are the following options.

Traveling by air

Tignes is can be accessed easily throughout the year via various forms of transport. The alps are primarily served by four airports; Lyon, Chambéry, Grenoble and Geneva, all of which have regular flights from the UK.

Carriers to these destinations include, Easyjet, Ryanair, Flybe, bmibaby, Thompson Fly and British Airways.

Traveling by train

Bourg St-Maurice train station is the nearest station to Tignes. This is served at all times of the year by French mainline services. Eurostar also runs a service known as the "Snow Train" at weekends throughout the winter season that is direct from London.

Traveling by road

Road access to the Tarentaise region is remarkably good thanks to the 1992 Albertville Olympic games, especially from Chambéry and Lyon. Transfers from these Airports can be made entirely on motorways as far as Moûtiers (36 miles from Tignes) and then on roads that have been widened to accommodate the hundreds of buses that use them throughout the year.

A public coach service is available between Bourg St Maurice station and Tignes.
