By bus
Chamonix has local bus transportation. The bus runs in the town as well as in the whole valley. There are bus stops at each of the lift areas. The bus usually runs from 7 am to 7:30 pm. There is also a night bus. If you have a Guest Card you can ride the local bus for free. For more information you should check the bus timetable.
By mini-bus
In the resort there is a free shuttle service called “Les Mulets.” This service is available in high season, and the little buses run in the centre of the town approximately every 10 minutes. Because the little buses run only in the center of the town there are special stops where they connect with the Chamonix buses.
By car
You can also get around by car. There are several parking areas in the town. A few of the parking areas are free. These parking places are: the p arking near the train station, Le Corzolet, Rue Helbronner, l'Allée Recteur, Les Planards and Payot. There are several covered parking areas: Saint Michel which offers 330 places, Entreves Car Park offers about 150 places and Mont-Blanc which offers approximately 240 places. There are also 2 open air parking areas: Outa has about 60 places and The Grepon has 700 places. The covered parking places as well as the two open ones are open non stop and prices vary depending on how long you park as well as if it is day parking or night parking. There is also a possibility to get weekly parking. Most of the parking areas offer at least half an hour of free parking.
