Your route, step by step
Arrive at Bourg-Saint-Maurice, then use a coach or road transfer to the named Tignes village.
- Book the mainline journey to Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
- Select Les Brévières, Tignes 1800, Le Lavachet, Le Lac or Val Claret for the onward coach or transfer.
- Give the accommodation address to the operator and locate equipment collection in the same village.
Choose the correct stop before buying the journey
A Le Lac drop-off is not a Les Brévières drop-off.
Les Boisses and Tignes 1800 are two names for the same locality, not two extra resorts.
Public transport or a prebooked transfer?
For Le Lac or Val Claret, compare the shop and lesson meeting point within that upper-village plan. For Les Brévières or Tignes 1800, decide whether collection should be near the accommodation or the intended mountain departure. Carrying children’s boots and skis between villages can remove the practical value of a small price saving.
For scheduled transport, confirm the final stop, service dates and baggage rules with the operator. For a transfer, give the exact flight or train arrival, party size, bags and accommodation address. Compare a complete quoted journey with a complete public-transport itinerary; neither is automatically cheaper or quicker for every group.
Luggage, children and a late arrival
The final mountain road and dated bus timetable determine whether a late train works.
Check whether the arrival point still leaves a walk, local bus or lift with the group’s luggage. Ask the accommodation how late check-in works and whether it can help with the last leg. If a connection is missed, a separately booked bus or train may not wait; read the ticket terms before choosing a tight interchange.
Plan the return before the first journey
Start with the flight check-in or mainline-train departure requirement, then work backwards through the actual local timetable. Do not simply reverse an optimistic outbound road estimate. Allow for winter conditions and any final equipment-return journey.
For Tignes, the return-day collection plan should respect this local distinction: Les Boisses and Tignes 1800 are two names for the same locality, not two extra resorts.
