Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

There's a bus roughly every hour on weekend days. Starts immediately outside Bourg St M gare. Presumably drops off at gare routiere near centre of Tignes le Lac. I caught it to Val D'Isere a couple of years ago and it worked fine. See link:

Bus/coach, it is easy cheap and quick. If you need luggage storage and showers then you have them just up the stairs from Gare Routiere in the Tignes les Lac Maison (Tourist Office.) So you will get a full day of skiing on the saturday - if you have the energy!

Depends whether it's the Friday night party train or the more sedate Saturday morning departure

London_Falcon, of course - I forgot about the day time option. I always do the Friday night party train, it does not feel like a party train to me, more a sleep deprivation train - but well worth it for the extra day!

Thanks everyone - I'll take a look. Seems I have quite a few options. I'm on the sedate Saturday morning train from London and the overnight train on the way home.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Those prices haven't changed much since I took that option about 11 years ago!! Then it was €80. Of course, the exchange rate was better 
Personally, I'd probably still take a taxi for 2+ people - quicker, more comfortable and, assuming access is OK, you'll be dropped outside your accommodation.
