Discover and book Chamonix bus services

Updated 16 January 2024

Chamonix has an excellent bus network covering the length of the valley, from Servoz to Vallorcine. This means that you really don't need your car once you're in resort.

There's a regular bus service between Les Houches and Le Tour that runs daily throughout the year. Buses run from approximately 07:00 to 20:00.

There are additional buses during the summer, including buses with racks for mountain bikes.

It's free to travel on most buses in Chamonix if you have a valid lift pass or a guest card (carte d'hote). Ask your chalet host or hotel reception for one of these.

There's a small charge of €2 for the night bus.
