N.B. A fare is payable on the Cham’o’Nuit line: €2 per trip.

Free town centre shuttle

Known as “Le Mulet” as a nod to the Valley’s history, the town centre shuttle is an urban service that uses compact all-electric vehicles (with capacity for 19 passengers) accessible to persons with reduced mobility. The service links up to the main stops on the urban network.

A cycle path is currently being established between Chamonix and Argentière to encourage local residents and tourists to leave their cars in the garage and take their bicycles instead. In the long term, there will be an uninterrupted “soft mobility” link using specially developed lanes.
Development will continue between Les Bossons and Chamonix-Sud in autumn 2019, along with a section through the Bois de Bouchet area.
Eventually, the Valley will be linked to Lake Geneva via the Véloroute itinerary (the V61) from the Lake to Mont Blanc.
