Getting around from Chamonix
 

We will be in Chamonix for 5 days starting next week. I have always had trouble figuring out train connections in the area. Tried to go to Megeve on a day trip and wound up stuck in St. Gervais. Just read a post mentioning Sallanches and looked up train routes to get there--which included Megeve and left me thinking I would wind up with a similar problem if I tried to go to Sallanche.. Can anyone with knowledge of the area help me understand the logistics of day tripping there? I'd really appreciate it. I'd also appreciate any suggestions for other day trips. Thanks.

I wanted to send you 6 timetable links, but Fodor's obviously stops the transmission of 5 web adresses. Sorry!

neckervd, Thank you so much for this information. I guess I need to drill down deeper when I research. Really appreciate your response.
