Trains in France

It is possible to get to Chamonix by train, with just a couple of changes on the way. From Paris, a TGV links you to Annecy or Geneva. Onwards from Annecy, you’ll change trains to the local TER then change again in St Gervais Le Fayet for the little Chamonix train – the Mont Blanc Express.

Information and booking: www.raileurope.co.uk or www.bahn.com (choice of languages) or www.voyages-sncf.com.

If you’re travelling through or from Switzerland, look for trains to Martigny, which has a connection to the Mont Blanc Express at Vallorcine. So once you are at Vallorcine you will need to change to get the connecting Mont Blanc Express train which stops throughout the Chamonix valley.
