In reply to calculus:
Hi. I'm on the mixed course 9th-11th. Me and my friend have just booked the cheapest way to Chamonix (cheapest that we could find anyway) from london. It involves £89, 19hrs, one change in Paris and a eurolines bus! We're heading out on the 6th July (arrive morning of 7th) coming back on the eve of the 15th (arrive 16th). Anyone else want to join us feel free, more the merrier as far as I'm concerned on that length journey.

PS we are aware that there are cheaper ways but when including transfers etc to/from geneve/lyon/turin etc it is cheapest. Plus, big plus, the baggage allowance is more favourable!!
