@under a new name, Yup, every half hour through the peak periods in winter (14 dec to 29 march), but only every hour during the off season (13 sept to 13 dec): https://www.chamonix.com/sites/default/files/media/brochures/Chamonix-hiver_2025_affiches_A0-HD2.pdf
Best start in ages here in the valley, some grand skiing this past week, and CdMB have released projected opening for Les Houches as well as GM and Flegere next weekend to go with GM and Flegere this weekend. Snow was already starting to get a wee bit sun affected on more southerly aspects yesterday but it's still well good out

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

@under a new name, @Grum p, well it appears (and not for the first time) that I am talking out of my rear end. As a regular user of this train to get back to Argentiere from the end of the Berard valley at Buet it has always been hourly when I have been in need.
It was always one of the valley’s ironies that the train was every 30 minutes in summer (with a late last train), and mostly hourly when demand is high in the winter. With an inconveniently early last train if a knees up in the Buet Hotel is in order.
I must update myself.

@HammondR, it would also help if it didn’t stop in Cham for 15-20 mins

Belated thanks for all the train info, will be v useful for future trips! I had great plans to travel over on Friday night for a legendary opening day, unfortunately the Airbus recall had other plans for me and I spent Friday night in a very noisy hotel near Gatwick and most of Saturday travelling and got to Grands Montets on Saturday exactly as thr lifts shut. So I ended up touring at le Tour (again) to the midstation and skiing down on slightly crunchy snow in the dark on Saturday, then heading up to GM today - skied out of course, with snow already quite transformed, but still good fun. Looks like rain in town from next weekend but a ton of snow higher up...
