Chamonix Uber?

You might be wondering if Uber operate in Chamonix, the answer is no they dont.

No Uber

No Uber

The problem for Uber in Chamonix is that the demand fluctuates too much, from no demand for quite a few months of the year through to mega demand over Christmas and New Year and the busy months of the ski season.

The good news is that provided you arm yourself with a good contact number (may i suggest 00 33 (0)6 79 01 46 02, me) then you should be OK.  Taxis in France are regulated by the government and as such the prices are too.  Firstly your driver will have passed various exams (8 in total) including a type of “knowledge”.  The driver also has passed a criminal record check and will be in possession of a “Carte Professional” with a photo and name of your driver for extra security, this will be displayed on the windscreen.  The driver is obliged to use the taxi meter which (contrary to popular belief) is not very expensive around the valley and is way cheaper than a VTC.

We operate all year round and even during this hard time of COVID we are available.

For enquiries or even to book a cab contact us on.

06 79 01 46 02  for a french phone OR,

00 33 6 79 01 46 02  for international phones.

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.
