Plan your approach to the Chamonix valley

Share your airport or station, your village and what you are bringing. GipTrans can review the itinerary and discuss pickup and quote details, including any proposed border crossing.

Prepare your Alpine handoff

Name the gateway

Send the airport and flight or the full station name and train. Ask about each proposed cross-border leg separately.

Confirm the village

Give the street and property, not just a lift or a central Chamonix pin. Check the road approach with your host.

Measure the kit

Count ordinary luggage and give packed lengths for skis, board bags or climbing gear. Include the passenger count for each leg.

Build the approach before fixing the handoff

A chalet can have a pedestrian pin and a road approach at different points. Share both if the host can confirm them. Add any rail departure or key collection deadline, plus an alternate plan if your airport or international itinerary is still under discussion.
