Car
If you are driving to Tignes,  you will need to stay longer than a week, to avoid the weekend traffic. A good way to go is Macon A40-Bourg en Bresse-Geneva. Then,  A41-Annecy-Chambery. This is a quieter route, avoiding the chaotic  motorway intersections at Lyon.  In Tignes, you will have to park in the covered garages.
