Geneva airport to Tignes

Mountain Rescue starts your airport transfer on the A41 towards the beautiful town of Annecy, which is built in close proximity to an enormous lake, called Lac d'Annecy which is 14.6km long.

Our driver follows the road close to the side of the lake, which is a very beautiful part of the journey. The mountains rise up from behind the water.

Once past Lac d'Annecy we follow main road, reaching Albertville. We travel onwards to Moûtiers and then to Bourg Saint Maurice, which is part of Les Arcs.

We go through 'Bourg' (as it is known to locals) and out the other side heading up past Sainte Foy and on to Tignes Les Brévières at 1550m.

If your journey takes you further, from Tignes Les Brévières we carry on over the famous Tignes dam (as seen on Top Gear) up to 1800m and beyond.

We have now arrived in Tignes Le Lac, by the beautiful lake which is frozen in the winter.

Val Claret is our furthest destination in this resort, and is about a five minute drive from Le Lac.

Mountain Rescue drop you as close to your accommodation as possible, so you are ready for a week of skiing or snowboarding.

Mountain Rescue has a lot of experience in airport transfers with children. We want to make it as stress free as possible.

All of our drivers are acquainted with child care and will drive in a manor that makes everyone feel comfortable. Please ask if you need to pull over at any time.

Business Class  travellers can keep children entertained with our in-vehicle Wi-Fi and iPads.

This is subject to change on the certain weeks of the season, especially on half terms and holidays in winter when traffic can be very slow.

Tignes is a well-known ski resort in eastern France, which, together with nearby Val d'Isère, forms the Espace Killy ski area, renowned for being one of the most beautiful ski areas in the world.

The resort is made up of five villages: Val Claret, Tignes le Lac, Le Lavachet, Tignes Les Boisses and Tignes-les-Brévières.

Val Claret, Tignes le Lac and Le Lavachet are close together at an altitude of 2100 metres, while Les Boisses and Les Brévières are further down the valley.

Les Brévières is the oldest and most traditional village. However each has its own unique charm.

Tignes is directly connected to Val d’Isère by chairlift, enjoy a run down from the highest point in Tignes, the Grande Motte, all the way down to the "OK" red run  and finish in Val d’Isère La Daille.

Sainte Foy is about 35 minutes drive away from Tignes and well worth a visit if your into your off piste or just fancy a change. The resort is small and very beautiful. There are some wonderful winding runs and quiet, easy tree line skiing.

Les Arcs, Peisey-Vallandry and La Plagne are about an hour drive from Tignes in good weather, and are well worth a visit. You can access all three when you buy a Paradiski resort pass.
