 Poster: A snowHead
|
Heading to Chamonix in a few weeks and considering renting car to get around the resort for the week. Does anyone know what the average cost per hour or per day of leaving the car in surface car park at any of the main ski areas is?
Also would need to leave car overnight in centre of town when not skiing - are there sufficient spaces in town to be able to do this and what woudl this cost?
Tks

Les Houches, Flegere, Le Tour and Grands Montets are free to park. Brevent has a fee of a few euros,tho' if you're staying in town you would probably just get the bus up there rather than faffing around trying to drive and park.
Free parking by Planards (just the other side of the station) and the free town shuttle stops next to it. Various other side streets etc. where you can stash a car. Some accommodation comes with parking, particularly in Cham Sud.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I'm pretty certain all car parks at the lifts are free, you just need to get there early. Not sure about overnight in town though.

there are free spots to park all over the place but it depends on how busy and where in town your staying as to how easily you'll find one. where abouts are you staying?

@rjp123, you would think, might you not, that either the office of tourism, or indeed the town hall would publish such useful information on one or both of their websites, particularly as both august bodies are very keen to de-clutter the town of those nasty smelly automobiles.
But not that I can find.

Not all of them any more they're not, I'm afraid. Le Tour, Grands Montets, Flegere (I think), Belvedere, Prarion, yes. Brevent, definitely not. And I think overnight maybe not so easy at any of them..although that's a supposition.
@rjp123, I think you're probably best in Allobroges, although it's outdoors. Don't leave anything valuable or apparently valuable visible in your car... https://www.google.com/maps/search/parking+in+Chamonix,+France/@45.9210692,6.8716581,17z?hl=en

sounds like it might better to use the bus, and even with some taxis it'd still be cheaper than having a car and perhaps less hassle?

We have a chum staying without a car this week, he used the bus for the first time today and was very impressed.
