Travelling to Chamonix: Local Travel & Transport
How to Get Here
If you're not taking a package holiday, where travel to your resort is already catered for, then you might want to consider how you're going to get from the UK to the Alps.
Transfers to Chamonix
There are several ways to get from Geneva to Chamonix, or from any other airport. The most cost effective way is to take a shared transfer (a shuttle minibus service) with one of the many Chamonix transfer companies that offer this service.
Local Transport & Timetables in the Chamonix Valley

The public transport system makes it easy to travel between these villages, with regular local buses and a train service covering Servoz, Vaudagne, Les Houches, Les Bossons, Chamonix, Le Praz, Les Nants, L'Avancher, Argentiere and Monroc. Information and timetables for the public transport system can be found in this section, along with parking information for car drivers.
Winter Driving Conditions
If you’re taking your car to a ski resort then it’s inevitable that you’ll end up driving on snow at some point. Local municipalities are generally very good at keeping the roads clear and you’ll hear the snow ploughs out long before dawn, ensuring that the roads are snow free for people to get about resort. However, driving on snowy, icy roads is a hazardous affair and requires extra care and attention. Here are some things to consider:
Inter-Resort Transfers
Unless you book a private transfer or have a car, travelling between French ski resorts is generally not very easy. There aren’t regular inter-resort public transport routes meaning that your journey is likely to be time consuming and involve at least one change. Even if it seems that Chamonix is just over the mountain from Val d'Isere, the road over the Col will be closed during the winter because of high snow levels.
