As title says. Is it possible to do a day trip from tignes to la rosiere.....without a car. We are out in tignes last week in Feb and have friends that we have found out are in la rod for the same week. We would love to catch up with them but have no transport. Also for those that are in the know is there a lift pass deal between the 2 resorts like there is with les arcs.
Cheers tim

@HandyHand, Seez is a long way from La Rosiere. There is a timetable for all the bus routes from Bourg St Maurice.

all is possible - take a 6.30 train from Tignes Val C (same bus leaves La Lac at 6.45) and it comes to BSM at 8.00. Then hop onto 8.10 bus from BSM to La Rosiere and at 9.00 you are in La Rosiere - worht it? 2.5h one way and presumably the same on the way back.
I would rather take taxi as it would take an hour one way I would imagine.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Looks like a taxi 2.5 hrs is not my idea of fun

@rjs ah OK. I thought you might be able to get up to Les Eucadets but on second glance it looks like a bit of hike!

We had a hire car and parked there. It is a long way below La Rosiere - so saves going all the way up there - but has a ticket office, parking right at the chairlift and easy access to La Ros ski area. And the run back down is excellent. However it IS still a fair way above Bourg St M. However, I seem to recall that there is (or was??) a ski bus that goes/went there from BSM??

Taxi from Tignes Van Claret to Les Ecudets lift station should be 40-50 mins. Get your friends to meet there.

Les Ecudets is the lowest access point to La Rosiere ski area, not far above Seez, there's a great red run down through the forest served by the slow chair here. The access road to La Rosiere proper is a long trek up many hairpins up the Petit St Bernard pass road.
La Rosiere ski area is basically a collection of very similar runs down one face of a mountain. I found the Italian side of the ski area above La Thuile to be a lot more interesting & varied, so worth trying to get over there if the weather's right and you can manage it.

Just dragging this one back up again. Does anyone local know if its possible to get a taxi from where the bus drops you in Seez up to the lift at les ecudets?

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

Why not get the bus to BSM and meet your friends there to enjoy a days at Les Arcs via the funicular. Admit I have no idea how you get to BSM from La Rosiere. Thus you will bth be doing leg work and they will experience another ski resort. Seems a lot of effort for your guys alone!

You know it makes sense.
|
There is a free shuttle bus from Bourg station to the Ecudets lift. Only two a day I think.

Otherwise you'll just go on seeing the one name:

There is, or was a couple or so years ago, a regular bus service from BSM station to La Ros. Some of my family used it because we could not all get in the 7 seater car with the luggage and shopping we bought at the Super U.

Was in Les arcs last week TBh they have 2 young kids with them so much easier for us to do the legwork to see them. Any one any idea on the BSm to Eucerets navette existence or frequency?
