Chamonix

Parking Chamonix

Renting a parking space in Chamonix varies with the season. The town experiences three tourism seasons, resulting in three parking categories: high summer or low season (3,197 parking spots available), and high winter season (2,487 spots). Across all listed parking, the paid‑to‑free split remains roughly 70 % paid and 30 % free.

To park in every public lot in the town you would need to spend €53, or €43 if you choose a single private spot.

On public roads, three colour‑coded zones determine the rates: white zone (free all year), green zone (€1 per 30 minutes during the high season), and red zone (€1 per 30 minutes).

Relay parking encourages drivers to leave the town centre, offering 690 spaces that connect to the centre during the high season.

For the 700 long‑term underground garages that are not subscription‑based, the charge is €2 for a 90‑minute stay.
