Lyon train station to Tignes: route overview
The transfer from Lyon train station to Tignes is a comfortable and straightforward journey into the Alps. Your driver will take the most efficient route to the resort, ensuring a smooth and stress-free trip.
The route from Lyon Part-Dieu or Perrache begins on the A43 motorway towards Chambéry, with long toll-road sections allowing a relatively direct approach into the Alps. After Chambéry, the landscape becomes progressively more mountainous as the journey continues via Albertville and the Tarentaise Valley.
Past Bourg-Saint-Maurice, the road climbs through the upper Tarentaise towards Tignes. The final approach becomes noticeably higher and more rugged, with reservoirs, exposed mountain slopes, and long winding sections typical of this route.
Under normal conditions, the journey takes around 3 h, depending on traffic and weather. During winter weekends and peak ski season, travel times may increase. Winter traffic is often heaviest near Bourg-Saint-Maurice and along the final road to Tignes, particularly during snowfall or Saturday arrivals.
Lyon has two main stations — Part-Dieu and Perrache — and we serve both at the same price. Just book from "Lyon Train Station" and note which station in your booking. Part-Dieu is Lyon's main TGV hub. Your driver will meet you at the main exit on Rue du Vivier Merle — the principal street-level exit facing the business district. Your driver will contact you as your train approaches to confirm the spot. Perrache is more compact. Your driver meets you at the main entrance on Cours de Verdun — straightforward to find as you exit the station. We track your train in real time. Free waiting is 20 minutes from scheduled arrival — if you're delayed, we adjust automatically. For longer disruptions, just message us.
Tignes sits high — making it one of the most snow-sure resorts in the Alps and the reason it runs a glacier ski area through summer. The altitude also means the drive up is a serious one: a long climb through the valley with the road gaining height steadily after Bourg-Saint-Maurice. The resort splits into distinct parts. Le Lac is the original centre — the lake, the main shops, most of the larger hotels. Val Claret sits slightly higher and closer to the glacier lifts, popular for its ski-in/ski-out options. Further down the valley, Les Brévières is the lowest and oldest part, traditional in feel and connected to the main resort by gondola. Les Boisses sits between Les Brévières and Le Lac — small, quiet, rarely the first choice but a legitimate base. No access restrictions anywhere in Tignes. After heavy snowfall the upper sections slow down, as you'd expect at this altitude. Confirm which part of the resort you're staying in and we'll take you straight there.
