If you are arriving into resort on a morning transfer, or are leaving the resort on an evening transfer, you will probably want to squeeze some extra skiing in. However, in our experience, most residences will not give out their keys until about 4pm and will then ask you to leave before 10am. This means you are stuck hanging around in resort looking after your luggage – when you should be skiing.
Here’s a list of the Baggage Stores that we know about. You could also contact your resorts Tourist Office or your accommodation centre, as they sometimes do have left luggage facilities. We advise contacting these baggage stores in advance to check they can accommodate you.

Tignes has a dedicated Baggage Store operated by the Tourist Offices. It can be found right next to the Tourist Office in Tignes Val Claret & in Tignes le Lac. Apparently there is also one in Le Lavachet, next to the underground parking. It is a paid for service but it does not cost much and we think they have shower facilities there too, so you can freshen up before making your way home. We’ve marked the location of this baggage stores on our maps. Check before with the Tourist Office as to its opening time.
