Getting around guide

Luckily Tignes has a free bus service that runs all day and into the early hours of the morning to take you from A to B. The buses here not only run all day but all the way through the night too, twenty-four, seven.

See our bus section for the timetables or you will also find them at each bus stop.

Val d'Isère

The buses run slightly later than the lifts which therefore lets you enjoy après-ski or an early dinner before having to head home. There is a coach that leaves from Maison de Tignes bus stop and drops you in the heart of Val. The last bus leaves from Maison de Tignes (Tignes) at 19:20 and the last one from Val is at 19:50. 

Taxis between Tignes and Val d’Isère run all through the day and night. We recommend booking in advance to ensure you can get one.

Whilst there's not much biking going on in winter, in summer Tignes offers some of the most diverse bike terrain there is for mountain bikers. The lifts open every summer with adapted racks or hooks. 

For the road bikers out there the roads around Tignes feature as some of the more gruelling sections of the Tour de France, but they are there to be tackled by anyone in the mood… 

Take a lift

You can get around the resort very easily while skiing using the lifts. All lifts open at 09:00 and close between 16:00 and 17:00 depending on where they are in resort.

Pedestrians

There are eight lifts that pedestrians can use for snow shoeing or simply joining friends at a mountain restaurant.

Getting to Val d'Isère

The gondola that connects Tignes to Val d’Isère (Toviére) closes at 16:30. It is located in the centre of Le Lac and brings you out at the centre of both resorts. You can ski back down in to Le Lac, over in to Val Claret and Le Lavachet or you can ski straight down in to La Daille which has a free shuttle service connected to Val d’Isère centre.
