My wife and I will be on the My Way Alpine Europe tour this spring and are looking for advise on how to travel from Chamonix to Paris. We are leaning towards a train just to enjoy more of the scenery. We already have a hotel in Paris but we just need to get there. Not sure if we should take a bus to Geneva and fly or take a train to Paris. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

When we took the My Way Alpine, we used Mountain Dropoffs, a shared van, to get to Geneva. You could also take a bus, but MD was reasonably priced and the times were better. They dropped us at the airport, and we took a train from the airport one stop to the main Geneva rail station. From there you can get a train to Paris and get to Gare de Lyon in 3 hours or so. That's probably faster than flying if you include security and getting from the airport to Paris proper. Enjoy the tour! We loved it.

I prefer train travel and you can do it this way - Leave from Chamonix on the Mont Blanc Express headed west to St Gervais Le Fayet and change there to The Leman Express L3 service which will take you to Geneva Cornavin ( Central Station ) TGV from there to Paris- further information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%C3%A9man_Express Beautiful scenery assured !!
