Getting There: Chamonix holds the trumps
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Train
    Getting TO/AROUND: As far as I know, Chamonix is the only place in the French Alps where you can go on a holiday without a car.
    Not only to get there, but also to get around.

    Each time we spent a week there, we parked our car in the garage and used it only once to make a day trip. (could have booked a bus journey at the Tourism Office though)

    There is enough to see and to do in and around town. There are countless gondolas and lots of hiking trails.

    The main train station is in the centre, close to the hotels.
    This town is a dream!

     A winter wonderland! Great photos and detail. Will see it only through this tour with you, so many thanks.

     Me again, coming back to look at the updates that you have added to these tips since September 2007. This looks like a really nice place. No wonder you have been there six times! I think there is also a bakery called "Au Pain d'Antan" in Paris.
