How to get there
The SNCF train station is a 5 minute walk to the apartment and is a great way to travel without a car.
If flying, we strongly recommend using the Geneva airport in Switzerland. Other airports (Lyon, Milan) require car rental to get to Chamonix and are longer trips due to poor public transit links, especially for departure day.
We are 90km from the Geneva airport. There are many van transfer companies and scheduled bus services Upon booking we can send you a list of reliable companies we recommend.
Our apartment is in the historic town centre pedestrian zone, which means you can't drive to the flat. There are two city car parks 2 and 5 minute walks from the flat - St Michel and L'Outa. Chamonix parking is mainly pay parking nowadays with little free street parking.

Getting around
The free Chamonix bus service runs year-round every 30 minutes from the main bus stop - only 2 minutes walk from the flat. In peak seasons, express buses run more. Service to all towns and lifts in the valley. If driving in winter, take a car equipped with snow tyres, not chains (chains are notoriously difficult to put on when you need them in a snow drift). Once you are in town, in winter we strongly recommend you park the car in the underground car park and leave it. Use our free ski buses to avoid crowded and icy sloping car parks. The vast majority of street parking in Chamonix is now pay parking.
