The Camper’s take
Updated June 2026
Large free parking for 2 hours, then €5/24h in Buet village near Chamonix train station. Flat terrain, quiet despite nearby road and railway. Excellent base for hiking (waterfalls, Aiguille Verte, Mt Buet) and climbing. Public toilets announced but under construction during several visits. Height limit 2m (tunnel to Chamonix).
Highlights
- Quiet despite being near the road and railway
- Excellent starting point for hiking and rock climbing
- Very affordable rate (€5/24h)
- Stunning view of the Aiguille Verte
Good to know
- Public toilets under construction or missing during multiple visits
- No drinking water confirmed
- Tight spot with little privacy by the roadside
- Height limit 2 m: Chamonix tunnel access impossible for high vans/campervans
Motorhome access : Flat, spacious parking lot with easy access but height limit of 2 m for the tunnel to Chamonix.
