Chambéry to Chamonix

From Savoie
to the Mont Blanc valley

Chamonix is not the most obvious destination from Chambéry, but it is easy to reach: about an hour and three quarters, entirely in France. Depending on the time and the weather, your chauffeur takes the motorway via Annecy and the Autoroute Blanche, or goes through Albertville, the Arly valley and Sallanches.

Many of our clients combine two resorts in one stay, a few days in the Three Valleys and then Chamonix, or the other way round. The car links the two, with the luggage, without going back through an airport.

Arriving in Chamonix

Arriving in the
Mont Blanc valley

The valley stretches for nearly twenty kilometres, from Les Houches to Argentière and Le Tour, and central Chamonix is largely pedestrian around Place Balmat. Your chauffeur knows where to stop for each hotel.

From November to the end of March, the French mountain law requires four 3PMSF winter tyres or chains in the boot in the listed communes of Savoie and Haute-Savoie, with a 135 euro fine otherwise. Our cars are equipped for the whole season.

If your flight lands in Geneva or Lyon, we also run the Geneva to Chamonix and Lyon to Chamonix transfers.
