Local buses and routes

Chamonix Valley’s local bus system, Chamonix Bus (also known as Chamonix Mont-Blanc Bus), offers extensive coverage throughout the region. As of my knowledge cutoff in September 2021, some key routes include:

Chamonix Local Shuttle (Le Mulet):

Le Mulet is a free shuttle service that operates in central Chamonix, making a loop around the town center.

Main Bus Lines:

Line 1  (Les Houches – Les Praz):
– Key stops include Les Houches, Chamonix Sud, Chamonix Centre, and Les Praz.

Line 2  (Les Bossons – Les Tines):
– Key stops include Les Bossons, Chamonix Sud, Chamonix Centre, and Les Tines.

Line 3  (Servoz – Le Tour):
– This route covers a larger part of the valley. Key stops include Servoz, Les Houches, Chamonix Sud, Chamonix Centre, Argentière, and Le Tour.

Line 6  (Le Tour – Les Houches Saint-Antoine):
– This route is an alternative to Line 3, also covering the wider valley but with different stops.

Ski Buses:

There are additional bus lines during the winter season that serve the main ski areas:

Chamonix Sud – Les Grands Montets
Chamonix Sud – Le Tour
Chamonix Centre – Brevent
Chamonix Centre – La Flégère

Please note that timetables, routes, and service frequency can change depending on the season, with more frequent service during the peak ski season. I recommend checking the latest information online or at the local tourist office upon arrival.

Also, if you are a guest in the valley (in either a hotel, guest house, or rented accommodation), you can avail of free travel on this network by obtaining a ‘Carte d’Hôte’ or ‘Guest Card’ from your host.
