Geneva Airport to Tignes Transfer
Geneva Airport to Tignes is roughly 182 km and takes about three hours in good conditions. The resort sits above 2,100 metres, so the final climb from Bourg-Saint-Maurice is a serious piece of mountain road. Montivo drives it privately, door to door, at a fixed price per vehicle.

Meeting your driver at Geneva
We track the flight and meet you inside the terminal. Tell us the flight number and which side of Geneva airport you will exit on, and the driver is in the right place at the right time.
The drive to Tignes
South past Annecy and Albertville, up the Tarentaise through Moutiers to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, then the climb towards Tignes. The last half hour gains well over a thousand metres in a succession of hairpins, and it is the section where winter conditions actually matter.
This is the route where having a driver who works the valley all season earns its money. Conditions at Bourg-Saint-Maurice tell you very little about conditions at 2,100 metres.
Saturdays
Saturday is changeover across the Espace Killy and the valley road below Bourg-Saint-Maurice is the pinch point for Tignes, Val d’Isere and Les Arcs traffic at the same time. Allow substantially longer than a weekday in both directions. The Saturday price reflects the extra time.
Standard or VIP
Standard seats up to eight, VIP up to seven with more space per person once ski bags are loaded. For a three hour transfer to altitude, that extra room is the difference most groups notice.
Children, skis and luggage
Child seats at no charge, requested at booking with the children’s ages. Declare skis, boards and oversized bags so the vehicle sent has room for the equipment as well as the people.
Arriving in Tignes
Tignes is several separate villages at different altitudes: Tignes les Brevieres and Tignes les Boisses lower down, then Tignes 1800, Tignes le Lac, Le Lavachet and Val Claret at the top. They are distinct places with their own approach roads and a long way apart in bad weather, so the exact address is not a formality here – it decides the last twenty minutes of the drive.
Going home
We work backwards from your flight and leave earlier than the map suggests, because the descent from Val Claret in fresh snow is not a drive to rush. Book the return with the outbound and it is arranged as one journey in two legs.
