how to get
there from Courchevel 1850
.
Tignes is
not connected in anyway to Courchevel other than road or by
air. To drive to Tignes it is necessary to drive down the
mountain from Courchevel to Moutiers. From Moutiers you need to
head up the valley road towards Aime and Bourg St Maurice.
After about 35-40 minutes driving you will
enter Bourg St Maurice. You will need to drive through Bourg
crossing over roundabouts until it is time to start making your way back
up the mountain towards Tignes and Val d'Isere. The whole journey from
Courchevel
to Tignes takes approximately 1hour 20minutes depending on traffic
and weather.
Collected from
your chalet or hotel you and the other participants will be
transported straight to the Horse Riding activity in Tignes
Le Lac. The Whitetracks host will
then walk with you to the Horse Riding office where they
will introduce you the instructors, answer any final
questions or queries that you may have and make sure that
you are being looked after properly.
.
The
Whitetracks host will then take pictures as you leave for
your Horse Riding excursion. After the excursion the
Whitetracks host will then take you back to Courchevel to your
chalet or hotel. Whitetracks
