Price of train fare Chamonix to Rome
Hi, Can anyone help me with the train fare from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to Rome? I have been on the sbb.ch site and it said a price wasn't available.
I am checking this out for my son and just want a rough idea so they can compare a rail journey to a flight.
Flight is of course is quicker and the rail trip is longer but more interesting and fun. They are looking for around January 10 and traveling with a group of friends.
Many thanks.

Hi Maudie - Your cheapest route would probably be via Courmayeur (i.e. - taking the bus through the Mont Blanc tunnel to Aosta).
Trenitalia comes up with € 62 (2nd.cl) Aosta-Rome (- via Milan).
Journey time: 8 hrs
(- plus 2 hrs Chamonix-Aosta).
If I were you ... I'd fly.
Easyjet from Geneva, perhaps?
www.easyjet.com
Hope this helps ...

another rail route would be Chamonix to Martigny, Switzerland - about 2 hrs and a very very dramatically scenic narrow-gauge train ride - one of the tops in Switzerland IMO
then get trains to Milan and onto Rome
then get trains to Milan and onto Rome

for the swiss route go to www.cisalpino.com
cisalpino is an Italian and Swiss railways subsidiary that runs most trains between Switzerland and Italy - some from Martigny may go direct to Florence for example
www.trenitalia.com for the Aosta/Pre St-Didier train links
www.sbb.ch for Swiss Railways, including Chamonix-Martigny

Wow, thanks so much everyone that give them plenty of choice.
I did look into Easyjet for them too so they will have to make the decision, if I were me I would take the train, but then I love seeing the scenery.
Thanks again.
