 SHUTTLES FROM THE BOTTOM OF VALLEY

Thanks to the free Kandahar shuttles, come and attend to Chamonix Ski World Cup without worrying about anything else. 

ATMB, eco-mobility partner and Chamonix World Cup do the most to encourage you to take the public transport. From Bonneville till Le Fayet, free shuttles will take you directly to Les Houches !

The event will create a lot of traffic and the organisation wants to put measures in place to reduce the impact and make the access to Les Houches more fluid. In an eco-friendly perspective and in order to help and accompany the organisation on eco-mobility questions, ATMB -Autoroutes et Tunnel du Mont Blanc- joins Chamonix World Cup and finance the shuttles which will bring the spectators.

Special coaches from Bonneville, Cluses, Sallanches, Domancy and le Fayet will allow spectators to reach the competition site in les Houches without using their car. 5€ per tickets bookable via the ticketing process.

 PASS CIRCULATION

In the context of the organization of the Alpine Ski World Cup taking place in Les Houches from February 2nd to 4th, 2024, access to certain areas of the municipality will be restricted. Access will only be possible for residents, secondary residents, people working in the municipality unable to use public transportation, and vacationers staying in the municipality. The aim of this sectorization is to prevent the village from being clogged up by a massive influx of vehicles, which would entail risks for the safety of local residents (inability of emergency services to access the site) and for spectators attending the event.

To enable the mentioned people to access the controlled sectors of the municipality, a mandatory "pass" will have to be sticked on the windshield of the vehicle from February 2nd to 4th during filtering hours.
