  If you are driving, head towards the center of Chamonix. From the main road, Route Blanche, follow the signs for 'Lac des Gaillands.'

There is parking available nearby, but be aware that some parking areas may charge a fee, typically around €2-€3 per hour.

• Public Transportation

  For public transportation, you can take the local bus service. Board the ‘Chamonix Bus’ at any central bus stop. Look for the bus heading to 'Les Praz' or 'Les Gaillands.' The bus ride takes approximately 10-15 minutes. Disembark at the 'Les Gaillands' stop, which is a short walk from the promenade. The bus fare is usually around €1.50 per trip. Check the local bus schedule for the most accurate times, as services may vary throughout the day.
