Tignes is one of the highest and most snow-sure ski resorts in the Alps, drawing thousands of international travellers each winter season. From December to April, the resort becomes a hub for corporate ski breaks, groups of friends, travel agencies, incentive programs, and mixed groups arriving from all over Europe and beyond. The journey to Tignes is an essential part of the experience, as the resort sits at 2100 metres with access roads that require experience in winter driving.
Our coach hire and minibus rental services with driver have been designed specifically around the needs of winter groups, providing comfortable vehicles, professional drivers accustomed to mountain conditions, and reliable logistics adapted to fluctuating weather. Whether your travellers arrive via Geneva Airport, Lyon Airport, Grenoble Airport, Chambery Airport or the TGV station at Lyon Part-Dieu, our service ensures your group reaches Tignes efficiently and safely, with space for all equipment and luggage typical of ski holidays.
Transport needs in Tignes are more specific than in many other destinations, due to the altitude, unpredictable weather patterns, and the volume of equipment carried by ski groups. Our network of local partners provides a wide range of services adapted to these conditions, including dedicated airport transfers, point-to-point shuttles between villages within the Tignes–Val d’Isere ski area, evening transport for group dinners, full-day vehicle and driver hire for excursions, and multi-day arrangements for corporate events or tour programs.
Drivers operating these routes understand the particularities of winter traffic, snowfalls, and road conditions on the mountain pass leading to the resort. Vehicles are prepared for cold temperatures, with luggage capacity specifically suited for skis, snowboards, helmets, boots, and oversized equipment bags.
This local expertise ensures that your group can travel without stress from their point of arrival all the way to their accommodation in Tignes Le Lac, Tignes Val Claret, or the surrounding hamlets.

Tignes → Val d’Isere
A short journey connects Tignes to its neighbouring resort of Val d’Isere, forming one of the largest ski domains in the Alps. Many groups choose to spend a day exploring different slopes, enjoying lunch in a mountain restaurant, or discovering the village atmosphere of Val d’Isere before returning to Tignes in the evening.
Tignes → Annecy
Annecy offers a complete change of scenery after several days on the slopes. Groups enjoy wandering through the historic centre, admiring the lakeside views, or visiting cultural sites such as the Musee Chateau d’Annecy. This excursion is popular among mixed groups looking for a relaxing day away from the mountains.
Tignes → Grenoble
Grenoble provides a lively urban contrast to the calm alpine environment. Known for its museums, historic squares, and cable car to the Bastille fort, the city offers a full day of sightseeing and cultural exploration. It is also a practical stop for groups continuing their travel through the region.
Organising transport for a ski group requires coordination between flight schedules, weather forecasts, equipment needs, and accommodation details. When you provide your travel dates, group size, airport or train station of arrival, and specific requirements linked to winter conditions, Coralie and Arnaud will arrange the most adapted solution with local partners in Savoie. Once everything is confirmed, your driver meets the group at the scheduled time and location, assists with luggage and equipment, and ensures a smooth journey to Tignes or back to your departure point. This efficient process helps groups maximise their time on the slopes while reducing stress during busy travel periods.

Dear Arnaud, we would be happy to provide you with feedback. Everything went smoothly. The service was fantastic and Bruno and his Wife on Friday (I think it was his wife 😊) was very friendly. We will book with you again and will gladly recommend you to others.

We had a wonderful trip to Reims and Troyes – and were extremely satisfied with both the bus service and our driver, Mr. Belmedi. Everything went very smoothly and easily throughout the trip. Mr. Belmedi always made sure to arrive at the agreed meeting points well in advance, which we greatly appreciated. Even despite the language barrier, as we do not speak French, he was always kind, patient, and welcoming towards us. Thank you very much for your service — you have been a great help both before our arrival and during the visit itself. I truly felt that we were in safe hands throughout the entire process. We would be very happy to use your company again on another occasion.

Arnaud, the trip to Verdun went very smoothly. The bus was exactly what we needed and was very clean and spacious. The driver, Mr. Antonio, did an excellent job. He was very prompt, professional, and friendly. The students who could speak French enjoyed talking with him. I have no complaints at all, as everything was just what we needed. I am bringing another group to France in mid-October, so I will be in touch with you in a month or two about reserving a bus again. This trip is identical to the one I led in May 2025 from Bayeux to locations associated with the D-Day landings.
