About Chamonix
Chamonix, 1,035 m, at the foot of Mont Blanc. People come for the Aiguille du Midi, the Vallée Blanche and the Mer de Glace, or simply to look up. The Autoroute Blanche runs almost to the town centre: 1 h 10 min from Geneva Airport, 1 h 15 min from Annecy.
The valley stretches more than 20 km, from Les Houches to Argentière. Give us your exact address so we can drop you as close as possible.

Panoramic Mont-Blanc
From the top of the Aiguille du Midi, this gondola glides over the glaciers to Pointe Helbronner, on the Italian border. Open in summer only; bring ID. If you continue down to Courmayeur on the Skyway Monte Bianco, your chauffeur meets you on the other side of the tunnel.

The Montenvers rack railway runs from Chamonix up to 1,913 m, above the Mer de Glace. A 10-seat gondola, in service since February 2024, then takes you down towards the glacier and its ice cave (170 steps, not wheelchair accessible). The Glaciorium is devoted to glaciology.

Frequently asked questions
How long does the transfer from Saint-Gervais-Le Fayet station to Chamonix take?
Allow about 20 min for 20 km in normal traffic. In winter or at peak holiday times, we build in extra time.

Shared shuttle or private transfer from Saint-Gervais-Le Fayet station to Chamonix: which to choose?
A shared shuttle usually runs to a timetable and drops several travellers along the way. With a private transfer, the vehicle is yours: it leaves when you choose and takes you straight to Chamonix, in about 20 min. The price is per vehicle, not per seat.
Private chauffeur or taxi from Saint-Gervais-Le Fayet station to Chamonix: what is the difference?
A private hire chauffeur (a VTC, in France) is always booked in advance. Ours has a price fixed before departure: from €50 for this journey, with no meter and no surcharge if the roads are busy. A taxi can also be taken from a rank or hailed in the street, and its fare usually follows the meter.
Can I book the return journey too?
Yes. You can book both journeys in a single request: your chauffeur will pick you up again at the agreed time.
Can I book at the last minute?
We do our best, depending on chauffeur availability. If you need to leave within the next few hours, the simplest option is to call +33 6 19 74 72 74.
