Bus from Chamonix to Geneva
There are direct buses from Chamonix to Geneva which take around 2 hours and 10 minutes of driving time. Importantly, this does not include any of the time travelers spent getting to and from the bus stations in both cities.
Traveling via bus limits you to following the company’s timetable. You will not be able to schedule your trip at the time that best suits you, particularly in the off-season when the bus hosts a more limited timetable.
The cost of tickets varies depending on your travel time, but the price tends to be around $7-18.
