Hi, will there be any cable cars open on the 17th of october? Specially thinking about Planpratz and Flegere

I'm about to purchase my annual pass for chamonix and looking for a second who wants to save about €800 of your buying an annual pass but haven't had one in the last 3 years. The cost is less than €1000 for the annual pass and must be purchased by October 19

DM me if you're interested for more details

Just trying to figure out which pass to consider for a potential 4-6 day trip in January?

Bonjour à tous !
Je viens d’être prise pour une saison à Chamonix, mais le poste n’est pas logé. Je ne connais pas du tout la station et j’aimerais avoir vos avis 😊

Déjà, est-ce que c’est sympa de faire une saison là-bas ? Est-ce qu’il y a une bonne ambiance et une vie nocturne animée ?

Ensuite, est ce que trouver une colocation est difficile, est-ce qu’une voiture est indispensable ou est-ce qu’on peut facilement se déplacer en transports en commun ? Si oui, dans quelles villes ou communes aux alentours me conseilleriez-vous de chercher un logement ?

Je vous remercie d’avance pour vos conseils et votre aide dans mes recherches ! Je préférerais éviter d’acheter une voiture si possible. 🙏

In Les Houches it looks like Crozat, Voze-Prarion and Kandahar lifts, all arrive to the same place at the top. I wonder is it so in reality? Can i use any of these lifts and ski down any of the piste that come down from any of them? Like ride up crozat and ski down col de voza ?

Hi Guys, I will arrive in Chamonix tomorrow morning and staying for 2 days.

Anyone up for an intermediate hike? Something like 4-6 hours trekking for beautiful scenary with no technical equipment.

Bolted rock climbing routes in Mer de Glace, Chéserys and Vallorcine - any recommendations for December?

Just wondering what the cheapest possible stay is in Chamonix I’m a broke uni student with a tent so anywhere that allows me to put a tent down would be awesome or if there are some cheap hostels

Hi,

In Chamonix currently and wanted to ask the best place to rent e-bikes and best trails to ride them on. Our Airbnb is in Sallanches but we have a car. Thanks!

Hey guys, I’m from Australia but had to come to Europe for family, and when I booked my trip I gave myself 9 days in the Alps before I go back, 6th–15th Oct.

Had a partner to climb with, but most likely they’ll want to go later now, which is obviously the right thing to do. Just wondering if anyone else is around then to try and attempt some routes, if there are even any enjoyable ones left.

I wanted to try Cosmics arete and Midi NF, but have heard that currently Cosmic’s Arete is in its worst state.

Also, I do have reasonable experience, I’ve spent almost 2 months a year in the NZ Alps for the last few years, but have none in the Alps, so this is something to consider.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub just in desperate need of a climbing partner lol.

Me and my friend are on our gap year and we are looking to work In February/March in Chamonix, if there are any job offers I’d gladly present us with cv and our skills!, we are 19. Thanks

Good afternoon all,

I am traveling with my little one (1yo) to Chamonix area between 04/10 and 08/10 and I am looking for some good hikes to take my wife and toddler on.

We are hoping for something 3-4h long and I am using Osprey Poco to hike with a toddler ( I am relatively fit).

Any suggestions?

We are staying in Les Houches but we can drive ❤️

Doesn't have to be long if it is scenic! I am aware that the majority (if not all) lifts are close at that time of the year.

Hello! I am looking for a seasonal job in Chamonix and the area from December with perfect english
Willing to learn basic French in the upcoming months. Thank you for any kind of help!

Hey, i’m thinking of hiking Lac Blanc in the first week of November (i’m travelling to Geneva already so I want to make a hiking trip out of it as well) but people have the most mostly saying to go during the summer months.

I’ve heard that maybe it could be icy for example? Has anyone been there during November and has any advice on this?

Hi y’all! Spent two days in the valley and just got a bit confused wether we actually saw MB or just the surrounding peaks. Would be great if someone could clarify and i apologize for my ignorance. All the best to you!

Hi everyone! Looking for some insight on renting an apartment in Chamonix over the course of the whole ski season. This is my first time doing a ski season in the alps, and I’ve heard there are a lot of scams, so I’m just wondering if you guys have any tips on where to look for apartments to rent. Any specific areas that are better/ worse to live in? Grateful for any input!

Hi I am arriving to Geneva airport around 11 am tomorrow and want to go hiking in chamonix for a bit can, I know I can get a bus from the airport but my questions are more about where the bus drops me off (Chamonix Av. de Courmayeur) is this close enough to walk to trails or is there more transporation needed, also if I want to hike for 3-4 hours would love some recommendations.

Thanks in advance!
