 Poster: A snowHead
|
|
A delay in my weekend travel plans to Tignes has meant I have had to book for next Tuesday's early morning Gatwick-Lyon flight arriving in Lyon at 9.50. I rather naively assumed I'd be able to get a bus transfer to Tignes or, at least, get a train to Bourg Saint Maurice. Having booked the flight, I now see that there doesn't appear to be any buses (altibus) and the earliest train is 12.45 but with a 2 hour wait in Chambery and only getting to Bourg at 17.45 (then I've got to get up to Tiges Val Claret!). Anyone got any ideas? Even better, any miraculous coincidence of anyone on the same flight aiming to get up to Tignes who might want to share a private transfer?

I wish I'd booked the Geneva flight as there is a public bus service to Tignes from there next Tuesday. This is what I've discovered:
- no public bus from Lyon Airport this early in the season;
- first train to Bourg Saint Maurice is 2 hours after my flight with a 2 hour wait in Chambery and another 30 mins in Bourg for the bus to Tignes so 4.5 hours wasted;
- if anyone has got any bright ideas/offers/suggestions for a rather more speedy but affordable way of getting from Lyons Airport to Tignes Val Claret next Tuesday at 10am then let me know.

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

You could arrange one day car hire from Europcar at Saint Exupery and drop it in Val d'Isere.

Avago, thanks. I've checked it out. I can get a one day rental to Bourg St Maurice but can't get the price down to a level where I feel it is worth it. The daily price is not bad from £65 but the one way thing more than doubles it.

Avago, Timbobaggins, Many thanks for the links. I had checked out tignesnet. The snag is that most don't offer shared shuttle transfers and the price is way sky high for just one person. It is looking like a long day on the train with plenty of time for lunch in Chambery en route! I'll ask fellow passengers on the plane - you never know, there might be people heading up to Tignes or Val.
