Easiest way to Chaminox from Geneva
 

My son-in Law (a first time Europe traveler) is trying to find the easiest way from Geneva to Chaminox. I will be with him until he leaves for France. A car is not an option. Is train or bus the best and simplist? Also, what are the odds of having "good" ski snow in very early December? Any former Chaminox people out there?

Car would be ideal. There is bus service from the Gare Routiere (tel. 41-022-732 0230), in the center of Geneva. Perhaps there are trains from the Gare des Eaux Vives, but am not really sure. <BR><BR>Odds of good snow in December? Depends on the weather gods, frankly. Best bets are Argentiere and glacier skiing.<BR>

Ann,<BR><BR>The bus is the way to go!<BR><BR>Here are the schedules:<BR>http://www.gare-routiere.ch/en/lignes/fr_chamonix.shtml<BR><BR>Snow in early December has actually been better than around New Year in the recent past, but you never know... anyway, Chamonix will always have some lifts open.<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre

HELP!!!<BR><BR>The link for the gare routiere in Geneva is not valid anymore.<BR>Does anyone know their new web site?

internetconnect,<BR><BR>Just checked this out and the new direct to the ski resort schedules (includes Chamonix) is ridiculously long:<BR>http://212.147.53.122/WWAWP/WWAWP.EXE/CTX_1904-1-BsJofmgnqP/BILLET2/SYNC_233420750/ISMAP/CLICAGE0<BR><BR>If that doesn't work, just go to the home page at<BR>www.gare-routiere.ch<BR>and click your way to the schedules.<BR><BR>Hope this helps,<BR>Andre

Andre, thanks for your reply.<BR><BR>The problem is that none of the links you gave me work.

Hello internetconnect,<BR><BR>Those links work for me. Just go to www.gare-routier.ch, then click on the flag for English, then click on the link for schedules -- as Andre advises. It just worked here.<BR><BR>s

Internetconnect,<BR><BR>Hmmm... I have no idea why you're having trouble (BTW, Swandav made a spelling mistake in his link - it's www.gare-routierE.ch).<BR><BR>One last try:<BR>www.gare-routiere.com<BR>also works for me.<BR><BR>Andre

Thanks Andre for your help.<BR><BR>It turned out that the link won't work from AOL.<BR>When I tried with Internet Explorer, it worked! Go figure...<BR>The information I found on the site helped me out a lot.<BR><BR>Again thank you for taking the time to help.

You're welcome - have a great trip!<BR><BR>Andre
