Bus services in Chamonix

Discover and book Chamonix bus services

Updated

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. The night bus timetable kicks in around 21:00.

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

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

There's a small charge for the night bus, which you need to book and pay for in advance online.
