Bus Info and Trains

The Chamonix Valley offers several alternatives to using a car.

GETTING AROUND BY BUS

Buses and shuttles run daily with varying frequencies depending on the routes. You can get discounts on bus tickets with the "Carte d’Hôtes" that we provide upon your arrival, or travel for FREE if you have a valid ski pass at the time of your bus journey.

The "Mulet" shuttle is also completely free and allows you to move around the city center.

Bus ticket prices are listed below for travelers staying in the area but without a valid ski pass at the time of travel.
