How to come ?
The Chamonix Mont-Blanc Valley: a unique site in the world but easy to access whether by car, train or bus. Located less than 100km from Geneva airport, many private transfers or regular buses can take you to this small mountain town!
I recommend a car-free escape, especially with the Mont Blanc Express train 🚋
All transport, lots of information on: Chamonix-mobilite.com here
