Private transfer from Lyon Airport to Tignes

At around 220 km, Lyon to Tignes is a substantial journey, and it ends high in the Tarentaise valley. A private transfer lets you cover all of it in one vehicle: your party only, one pickup at the airport and one drop-off in Tignes, with no timetable to fit around.

• A vehicle booked for your party only

• A direct journey to your Tignes village
• Dropped at your accommodation address
• A fixed quote confirmed before you book, and return transfers on request

From booking to pickup

1. Before you fly. Send your flight number, arrival time and terminal if you know it, the number of passengers, your luggage and any skis, plus your Tignes village and address.
2. On arrival. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall at Lyon Saint-Exupéry (LYS) with a name board, following the pickup instructions we send you on WhatsApp.
3. On the road. With a valid flight number we endeavour to monitor your flight and adjust the pickup accordingly — see what happens if your flight is delayed.

The journey from Lyon Airport towards Tignes

The road distance from Lyon Airport to Tignes is approximately 220 km, and the typical journey time is approximately 2h45–3h30. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed time: traffic, weather and road conditions can all lengthen it, particularly in winter.

Most of the distance is motorway as far as the Tarentaise valley. The final section climbs from the Bourg-Saint-Maurice area, around 30 km from Tignes and typically about 30 minutes in normal conditions, so that is the part of the journey most sensitive to snow and traffic.

Which part of Tignes are you staying in?

Tignes is made up of several areas at different altitudes: Val Claret, Tignes Le Lac, Le Lavachet, Tignes 1800 (Les Boisses) and Les Brévières, spread from about 1,550 m at Les Brévières to above 2,000 m at Val Claret. The final part of your journey depends on which one is your base.

The starting fare and the journey-time estimate on this page apply to Tignes in general, with no separate price per area. Give us the exact address and area when you request your quote and it is taken into account in your fixed price. If your accommodation is hard to reach, or you need more than one drop-off, mention it so that we can quote accurately.

Travelling to Tignes with skis and luggage

Travelling with skis or snowboards? Please declare your ski equipment when you request a quote. It is not included in the €420 starting fare, so we provide an appropriate vehicle with suitable capacity and quote it separately.

Larger groups, oversized luggage or extra bags may need a van or a larger vehicle, which is also quoted separately. Tell us how many people are travelling and what you are bringing, and we confirm a fixed price before you book.

Families, groups and shared drop-offs

Tignes and Val d'Isère share the Tignes–Val d'Isère ski area, and some parties split their stay between the two. If your group needs a second stop, or arrives on different flights, say so in your quote request: extra drop-offs are quoted separately. The starting fare is for a private sedan carrying up to 3 passengers; larger groups can request a suitable vehicle, also quoted separately.

Child seats are available on request, subject to availability. Give us the ages and number of children when you request your quote.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

If you provide a valid flight number, we endeavour to monitor your flight and adjust the driver's pickup time if it is delayed. This is provided on a best-efforts basis, as set out in our Terms & Conditions, and cannot be guaranteed in all circumstances. Please send us your flight number, and tell us about any change of plan on WhatsApp.
