The Geneva-Chamonix shuttles depart from Geneva airport. On average, there is a train every 10 to 20 minutes during the day to go from Cornavin station to the airport. The journey takes approximately 7 minutes.

Carpooling

If you can't find a train or bus solution that suits your needs, consider carpooling.

Use the platform of your choice, such as Blablacar.

Car

We strongly recommend that you optimize on the number of people the car can carry (no less than 3) by giving friends a lift, or by offering any remaining seats on a carpooling platform.

1 day: If you're coming to the event for a day, we advise you to park outside Chamonix.

From there, you can use the valley's public transport system to access other areas (as far as Vallorcine).

2 days +: Make sure your accommodation has parking. As the city center car parks are overcrowded, we strongly advise against using your car to get around the valley. Use the valley's public transport system.

Plane

When you arrive at Geneva airport, DO NOT RENT A CAR.

Getting around Chamonix Valley is easier on public transport, plus the OCC, CCC and UTMB races are only accessible with the organization's shuttle service. Many operators offer transfers from Geneva to Chamonix.
