This was originally written in 2015, when my works trip returned to Chamonix. Yup, we’re going back to Chamonix, probably staying here., obviously going up in the world; it’s next door to the one we used in 2011. In 2025, I had a look to go under my own steam, to see the snow and sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Here is the Chamonix tourist web page<\/a> which ideas of things to do. Think I’ll go up the train, and the cable car, on separate days. Tripadvisor, things to do<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a page hosting webcam views<\/a> of Chamonix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Expedia have some reasonably priced hotels in Feb 2026, although they all want deposits at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rome 2 Rio suggests <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Fly to Geneva and then catch a bus, by Swiss Tours, or or this page<\/a> suggest taxi prices. Here is the Swiss Tours booking page<\/a>. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Train to Paris and Bus to Chamonix, although it’s probably possible to use the train more, but this takes 9 hours<\/span> and will often pass through Geneva. The train is not much cheaper and a 3 hour longer journey. It’s price is highly dependent on the Eurostar price. (Think I’ll fly.) <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Maybe check out Trainline <\/a>and Rail Europe<\/a>. See also, Flixbus<\/a>, or google gemini says, “Several companies run shuttle services, including easyBus.com<\/a>, Swiss Tours<\/a>, Alpine Fleet<\/a>, and FlixBus<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A weather forecast for Feb 26<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And their ski lift map<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Is this a good idea?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    I no longer have any ski wear, and if I fall over, I won’t be able to get up. So no skiing! 🎿No drag lifts and chair lifts might be a problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
