Getting there

Chamonix is one of the most accessible resorts in the Alps and we’ve got the inside track on getting there in no time.

Planes

Geneva airport is 50 miles and little more than one hour away via the French toll motorways (www.gva.ch). EasyJet | BA | Swiss Airlines and Bmibaby fly from the UK.

Trains

It really makes no sense to get to Chamonix by train. From Geneva’s Eaux-Vives station take a French SNCF to Annemasse or Roche-sur-Foron and change for trains to La Fayet/St Gervais Les Bains. From here you can catch the Mont Blanc Express to Chamonix. It’s panoramic but the whole trip will take three times longer than by car.

Automobiles

If you’re coming from Geneva | hire a car on the Swiss side of the airport or you‘ll get stung extra for using the Swiss motorways. The journey along the A40/E25 toll road takes just over one hour. You can’t walk to the end of the street in Geneva without crossing an international border so have your passport handy.
