While Chamonix’s public transportation system is incredibly convenient for travelling throughout the valley, it’s important to note that newcomers might initially find it a bit perplexing when determining which bus to board.
To make it simple, here’s a breakdown of the key bus lines:
- Bus Line 1: Travels from Les Houches to Chamonix and continues to La Flégère.
- Bus Line 2: Operates from Les Bossons, situated between Les Houches and Chamonix, to Chamonix and to Le Tour.
- Bus Line 14: Connects Le Brévent and Les Planards, with stops at Chamonix Sud and Chamonix Centre.
- Bus Line 17: Takes you from Le Brévent to Le Grépon.
Both Lines 14 and 17 offer frequent bus service to Le Brévent and Chamonix, with buses departing for Brévent or Chamonix every 10 minutes during peak hours.
- Bus Line 19: Relies Le Brévent to La Flégère.
Each bus is clearly marked with its line number and its destination. Importantly, each line shuttles passengers between points A and B, as well as B to A. Be vigilant to ensure you don’t accidentally board a bus heading in the opposite direction!
