Chamonix has a bus system which runs up and down the Valley and serves the various ski resorts and hiking areas. All lines start at the Chamonix Sud bus stop and make a circuit in Chamonix town.
Travel during the day is free with a "Carte d'Hôte", "Gens du Pays" or ski pass. Ask your hotel/apartment/chalet provider for a "Carte d'Hôte" card (this is partially what the nightly tourist tax covers). If you do not have a valid card each passage is 1.50 euros, except the Pélerins line which is 0.70 euros per passage.
There is also a Night Bus in the summer and winter seasons (no Night Bus in the off season). Trips cost 2 euros.
In high season, the waiting time is rarely more than 20 minutes, but it is best to consult the schedule.
