The Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley stretches for around 15 km and the name alone doesn't tell us where to find you. Confirm the full address and which village you're staying in when you book. The road runs from Les Bossons in the south through Chamonix centre, Les Praz, Les Tines, Argentière, all the way to Le Tour and Vallorcine near the Swiss border. If your chalet sits on a track off the main road — and many do, especially around Argentière — include whatever directions your host has given you. We'll find you.
Brides-les-Bains connects to Méribel by the Olympic gondola — built for the 1992 Games, around 25 minutes to the top. It runs during ski season and makes Brides a genuine base for skiers who want lower accommodation costs and don't mind the morning commute up. The town is easy to navigate and sits low enough that winter road conditions are rarely a factor. We drop off at your hotel or apartment entrance. One practical note: the gondola has fixed operating hours and stops in the evening. If you're arriving late and planning to head up to Méribel the same night, check the last departure before you travel — it's the kind of detail that's easy to miss when you're planning from home.
