Chamonix Bus Services
Don't Get Confused. There's more than one
The buses stop here, in front of the Le GareThere are three Chamonix Bus services and you'll need to visit the three different sites depending on where you'd like to go. There's the local, inter-town and long distance bus operators.
This is a photo of the main train station at Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. All buses and trains will stop here and the large tarmac'd area directly in front of the main entrance to the station, is the main departure point for most transport.
This is also where you'll catch the transport to Courmayer - you can't miss the milling throngs of skiers waiting for the scheduled transport.
