The Best Ways to Travel to Tignes
Travel by Air
Flying to the French Alps has become much more popular in the last few years with the advent of cheap carriers such as Easyjet
and Ryan Air. Les Arcs ski resort is about a two and a half-hour drive from either Geneva or Lyon airports, or a three-hour bus
transfer.
Snowjet Winter 08/09 prices will again start at £29 oneway and remember that Snowjet prices are inclusive of all taxes,
20kg baggage allowance and free ski or board carriage. Ski boot carriage is also included in the price.

Transfer from the Airport
The two most common methods of getting to the skiing and snowboarding holiday resort from the airport are car hire or transfer
buses/trains.
Buses leave several times a day from most airports and travel to Les Brevieres, Tignes. The bus stop is 80m from Chalet Arabette.
Alternatively you could use our Transfer Service. This is the cheapest option for 4 or more persons.

Car Hire
Booking in advance via any of
the links below is generally recommended. Don't forget to specify snow chains and roof racks if you want them. Roads are
generally free of permanent ice from February onwards, but don't forget that you still have to drive up the hill if it is
snowing when you first arrive.
