From Lyon Saint-Exupéry to Tignes in about three hours, entirely in France. A private chauffeur, a car equipped for the high mountains and a rate fixed before you travel.
Tignes is one of the highest resorts in the Alps, with Tignes le Lac at 2,100 metres and skiing up to the Grande Motte glacier. From Lyon Saint-Exupéry it is about 230 kilometres, three hours on a clear day, all on French roads.
The motorway runs to Albertville, the Tarentaise valley to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, and the last climb passes the Chevril dam. On in-season Saturdays the valley fills up, and we set the departure from the actual landing and the state of the road.

A Lyon to Tignes transfer with My Private Service is a private car for your party only, a chauffeur waiting in the Saint-Exupéry arrivals hall or at the TGV station exit with your name, and a rate fixed in writing before you travel. About 230 kilometres and three hours with no border: motorway to Albertville, the Tarentaise to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, then the climb past the Chevril dam to Le Lac or Val Claret.
A taxi from Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport to Tignes runs on the meter and is rarely equipped for the mountain. Shared coach and shuttle transfers leave on a timetable, stop at other resorts and wait for other flights. The train from Lyon reaches Bourg-Saint-Maurice, 30 kilometres below the resort, so a car is needed anyway. A private airport transfer leaves when you land and drops you at the door, which on a Saturday in February makes the difference.
For a family or a group of friends, the Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with skis and luggage; larger groups travel in two or three vehicles leaving together. The same private ski transfer serves the hotels, the chalets and Tignes le Lac, Val Claret, Le Lavachet, Tignes 1800 and Les Brévières.
We run the Tignes to Lyon transfer in both directions. For the return, your chauffeur sets the pick-up time from the road conditions and your flight, so the transfer time from Tignes to Lyon Saint-Exupéry airport is never a gamble. Ask for a return quote and both legs are confirmed together.
Transfer cost, transfer time, distance from Lyon to Tignes or simply how to get from Lyon to Tignes: send us the date, your flight and the number of passengers, and you receive a firm price and your chauffeur's name.

The price depends on the car, the date and the number of passengers. It is fixed per vehicle, not per person, with taxes, tolls and waiting time included. Send us your flight and you receive the exact rate in writing before you book.
We are a private chauffeur service rather than a taxi rank: the car is booked in advance, the rate is fixed and the chauffeur waits for you whatever the delay. On this route it replaces the taxi and the shared shuttle for most travellers.
Yes. The Mercedes V-Class takes seven passengers with their cases and ski equipment; beyond that we send two or three vehicles together. Tell us the number of passengers and pairs of skis when you ask for the quote.
Shared coaches run on winter Saturdays with set departure times and stops at several resorts. A private transfer leaves when you land and goes to your door; for a family with skis it is usually the simpler option.
