By road :
More and more people are driving down through France now. When you are staying in resort for a long time it is often handy to have a car at your disposal. Also, driving out means you are not subject to the same baggage restrictions that you would be with flying. It is a long journey and its best if you can share the drive with someone as it can take approx. 10hrs to reach Tignes from Calais. Roadside parking can often be impossible in Tignes, but there are a number of underground parking facilities, where you can buy a pass for the season (see tignes.net ). It's a straight forward drive to the French Alps but if you want to plan your route in advance then have a look at multimap.com and autoroute.com . You will need to book the channel crossing in advance whether it be on the train with Eurotunnel or one of the various ferry company's such as Seafrance . They can be flexible and it may be possible to get on and earlier departure.

 
By rail :
Travelling down by train has become very popular recently. The Eurostar trains run from London Waterloo straight down to Bourg St Maurice. Alternatively you can get the Eurostar to Paris where you can transfer to one of the native TGV or SNCF sleeper trains which also run direct to Bourg St Maurice. Autocars Martin run regular transfer buses up the mountain from Bourg.

 
By air :
Geneva, Lyon St Exupery and Chambery are the three main airports when travelling out. All are serviced by the numerous budget airlines. This is all fairly self explanatory but check out the usual suspects such as easyjet ,ryanair and flybe . Once you have landed you can catch a transfer bus to take you from the airport to Tignes.
