Driving
There are plenty of car hire options from all airports.
If you are driving from the UK you can avoid lengthy queues at toll booths by using an Emovis-Tag. This allows you to drive straight through specific lanes and the cost of the toll is then debited directly from your bank account. You can sign up for this service here,
*NB​. During the winter DO NOT drive to Tignes via Chamonix & the Mont Blanc tunnel. This route may look faster and your satnav may want to send you that way however, you will be routed over the Col du Petit St Bernard which will be closed & under several meters of snow.
In bad weather, snow chains are compulsory so please be prepared.
​

Direct from London St Pancras International to Bourg St-Maurice. You can then get the bus or a taxi to Tignes which takes about 40 minutes.

There’s a Carrefour supermarket just across the road from the apartment which stocks everything you’ll need however, supplies in Tignes are more expensive than they are lower down the mountain.
