 Poster: A snowHead

Is on-street parking easy to find?
OK, I know I should presume it's easy - but I've an offer of a room at a Hotel with no car parking and will be using a hire car to get about most days.
Any problems anyones aware of?

Parking in Chamonix when it is busy can be a bit of a nightmare, there are however several pay car parks.

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

jbob, so far I've blitzed loads of Hotels and only had two replies showing availability.
One's the Mont Blanc  which had better be pretty swish at that price.
The other is the Vallee Blanche which is a bit more reasonable - but the nearest car park looks a fair way off.

Car Parks are cheap compared to the UK - Brevent is €1 per day and night but all outside the very centre. If you know wehre you're staying there are plenty of people on this site that could direct you to a good spot.

kitenski, the hire car works out about £40 dearer, but I thought it would make the airport run that much quicker (hence more skiing) and would help move between areas.
It's worked OK before, but I've always been able to park at the Hotel.

Mosha Marc, the airport run is not the issue there are lots of transfer operators, but having a car is great for getting around when you are here. I have stayed at the vallee blanch and it is ok but not top 3 star but the rooms are nice, and you do have a fake Irish pub . Details of the car parks here- www.chamonix.com/page.php?page=13&r=transports_dans_la_vallee&ling=en
Have you tried the Hotel Faucigny +33 (0)4 50 53 01 17 its got a bit of parking and is right in the action.

You know it makes sense.

Hi Mosha Marc, Yes the Hotel Mont Blanc is very swish and as far as I remember it has a free car park round the back (although at their prices a "free" car park is the least you would expect...)
