Chamonix Taxi

Sometimes (often) its difficult to find a Taxi in Chamonix, especially in the evening when you would rightly expect to find at least one sitting in the taxi rank outside the train station.

The best way to prepare for an evening out in Chamonix is to pre-book your taxi, this means that your driver will be exactly where you request at exactly the time you request with the appropriate vehicle for the number of people that are in your group.

At Chamonixcabs we operate with a number of vehicles including our Nissan Leaf 100% electric vehicle that allows us to move people around the valley with ZERO EMISSIONS.

TO BOOK A TAXI CALL US ON – 0679014602

TO CALL WITH A UK MOBILE – 0033679014602

We speak English and French.

Park Merlet, Short taxi ride from Chamonix

Park Merlet

Park Merlet

When visiting Chamonix there are a large number of great activities, one is to visit Park Merlet in Les Houches, Coupeau.  Park Merlet, Les Houches

With children its a wonderful day out, there is a great Restaurant with fantastic views and a number of wonderful walks where you will spot lots of wildlife such as Chamois, bouquetins, mouflons, marmottes and dear.

Getting there can be easy, there is a Bus service from Les Houches centre (Marie) that stops by the Train station in Les Houches and costs 2 Euros.  This will still require a bit of a walk but it will be worth it.

We also offer transport to the Park either in one of our minibuses or our Eco taxi from anywhere in the Chamonix Valley.

Train from Geneva to Chamonix?

It is possible to get from Geneva to Chamonix (and back) by train.

Trains leave Chamonix train station every hour during peak periods and are operated by SNCF, the French railways company.

All trains leaving Chamonix require at least 1 change and sometimes 2 changes.  First is going to be at Fayet (St Gervais) to get off the cog railway and onto a standard train.  All trains going to Geneva will be stop at Geneva Eaux Vives train station.

To get to Geneva train station will require getting to Geneva Cornavin and then connecting to the airport.  In total getting to geneva city from Chamonix takes between 2hr50 and 3hr40 depending on connections.

Taking the train is a wonderful way to see an area, however, if time is important to you then a private transfer from Geneva airport to Chamonix takes a little over an hour and is door to door.

Chamonixcabs offer this service from as little as 170 Euros, contact us for details.
