One of the important things to do when you plan your travel to Chamonix is obviously to find accommodation during the UTMB® period. This can be a tricky challenge due to the influx of visitors to the resort at this time of year, but there are a few things to know that will help you solve this problem easily. The race offers several rental solutions through its partners.
Staying in Chamonix or the surrounding area
Staying in Chamonix is certainly the most convenient and pleasant option, but many other alternatives are available in the surrounding area while still remaining close to the famous resort. In the nearby valleys, you will find plenty of shared accommodation options that will provide a roof over your head at a much lower cost than in the heart of Chamonix.
When to make your booking
The timing of your booking is always a key factor in securing availability, choice and reasonable prices. Obviously, the sooner the better, but you can also try your luck during certain periods that are more favourable than others for finding accommodation.
What types of accommodation should you choose?
Chamonix and its surrounding area offer a wide range of accommodation options. You will be able to choose from several types of accommodation such as hotels, apartments, gîtes, guest houses or even camping! Each has its advantages and will suit different types of traveller, whether you are coming solo, as a couple, as a family or with a group of friends for the UTMB. Find out more:
