Your Journey from Geneva Airport to Tignes: A Scenic Alpine Adventure

Experience one of Europe's most breathtaking transfer routes as we whisk you from Geneva Airport to the slopes of Tignes. This 174km journey is more than just transport – it's your first taste of Alpine magic.

The Route Highlights

Geneva Airport → Lake Annecy (1 hour) Your adventure begins as we leave the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Geneva behind. The most direct route for a Geneva to Tignes transfer goes around the picturesque Annecy Lake, where you'll witness one of France's most stunning natural gems. Known as the "Pearl of the Alps," Lake Annecy's crystal-clear turquoise waters reflect the surrounding mountains like a perfect mirror.

Around Lake Annecy After visiting the historic heart of Annecy with its cobbled streets and meandering canals reflecting pastel-coloured houses, head towards the great Lac d'Annecy. You'll catch glimpses of the medieval Château d'Annecy perched above the old town, while the lake's pristine waters stretch out beside you – often called Europe's cleanest lake!

Annecy → Albertville (45 minutes) Following the scenic route through the Combe de Savoie valley, we pass through charming Alpine villages. Keep your eyes peeled for the distinctive Savoyard architecture with its wooden chalets and flower-filled balconies. This region produces some of France's finest cheeses – you might even spot traditional Alpine farms dotting the hillsides.

Albertville → Bourg Saint Maurice (1 hour) As we climb higher into the Alps, you'll pass through Albertville, the host city of the 1992 Winter Olympics. The landscape becomes increasingly dramatic as we enter the Tarentaise Valley, with towering peaks beginning to dominate the horizon. The air grows crisper and the anticipation builds!

Bourg Saint Maurice → Tignes (30 minutes) The route passes through the Tarentaise valley and up the mountain from Bourg St Maurice. This final ascent is where the magic truly happens. As we wind up the mountain roads, you'll witness the landscape transform from verdant valleys to snow-capped peaks. The road climbs steadily through dramatic Alpine scenery until we reach Tignes at 2,100 meters above sea level.

Journey Details

  • Distance: 174km of scenic Alpine beauty
  • Duration: Approximately 2.5-3 hours (depending on weather and traffic)
  • Best Views: Lake Annecy panoramas, Olympic Valley vistas, and dramatic Alpine ascents
  • Elevation Gain: From 372m (Geneva) to 2,100m (Tignes)

Sit back, relax, and let us handle the winding mountain roads while you soak in some of the most spectacular scenery the French Alps have to offer. Your Alpine adventure begins the moment you step into our comfortable transfer vehicle.
