Transportation to Chamonix

We are taking a trip to France in September. We have most of the transportaion. We are taking the train from Paris to Annecy. From Annecy to chamonix is the question. The train would take approximately 3 hours with a train change. Is there any shuttles or buses that run to Chamonix on a regular basis? Any help would be appreciated.

I%26#39;am afraid there are no regular buses from Annecy to Chamonix. There are taxis or mini buses services from Annecy, but it will be more expensive than the train (depending how many people you are on your group ?); have a look on this website :

For example this taxi company propose the transfer for 160 € :

Taking the train is long as you have a train change at Saint-Gervais, but the ride is very nice, with beautiful landscapes...

Thanks Only-Lyon that helps immensely. I guess we%26#39;ll stick with the train.

Thanks once again.

You%26#39;re welcome. I am sure you will enjoy your trip. Annecy and the Annecy Lake are very beautiful !

Are you planning a day trip to Chamonix? Are you planning to return to Annecy from there or go on to some other destination? You use the word %26quot;we%26quot; so I assume that you are at least two people.

You might rent a car in Annecy. There are quite a few car rental agencies down by the train station. The drive to Chamonix is in the neighborhood of an hour. You could do the round trip in less time than one way by train. If you%26#39;re doing a day trip then you might be better of on price, too.
