Getting to Chamonix from Geneva

• about €20-45 each way

• To find the bus when arriving in Geneva, exit baggage claim, walk directly across the hall to the info booth, purchase a ticket for the next shuttle to Chamonix. Then check in at the shuttle service booth, which is 200 feet to the right of the info booth. The shuttle takes about an hour and a half to Chamonix.
