Camper van service area
Attention: Parking Restrictions
Regulations governing the parking of recreational vehicles such as motorhomes and campervans, effective August 6, 2026, and in force from May 1 through October 31 of each year:
On this page, you will find the motorhome service area, authorized motorhome parking lots, and some specific information about this mode of transportation.
It is strongly recommended that you stay at campgrounds.
When you stay at a campground, the campground operator will provide you with a guest pass. This pass allows you to travel for free and easily on the SNCF rail network from Servoz to Vallorcine and to receive a discount on tickets for the Chamonix Mobilité urban transit network (and Mulets in Chamonix). All campgrounds are located near a bus stop or train station
The guest card also offers discounts on sports and cultural facilities, such as the swimming pool, ice rink, and museums.
If you’re not staying at a campground, you can purchase the guest card exclusively at the valley’s tourist offices and town halls for €10 and enjoy the same benefits.
In the Chamonix Valley, you’ll find a service area for RVs. It’s free and allows RV travelers to take advantage of numerous services, including black and gray water disposal as well as drinking water refills.
The Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley is committed to promoting public transportation and sustainable transportation options to improve air quality. Recycling is required; bins are located throughout the valley for sorting and disposing of your waste. It is prohibited to discharge wastewater into the natural environment.
There are two authorized parking lots for RVs listed below: the new Parking du Cry and the Parking du Grépon autocars.
Parking outside designated areas—particularly in natural areas—is prohibited, and RVs must comply with applicable regulations.
A motorhome is classified as an M1 vehicle. It may park on the same basis as a car, provided that parking is neither dangerous, nor obstructive, nor excessive (the maximum parking time authorized by the Mayor’s order is 24 hours).
The vehicle must be roadworthy. No items such as tables, chairs, awnings, etc., may protrude onto public roads. Motorhomes and similar vehicles traveling outside designated areas are subject to a fine of €35.
