### 1/5 — Clunky nightmare

*2026-04-03, version 20.3*

Seems very buggy. Was unable to top up my lift pass. Cluttered and bad design.

### 1/5 — Ski pass function doesn’t work

*2026-04-01, version 20.3*

Impossible to buy a ski pass in advance, whether via the app or via a web browser. Great idea, but it just doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2025-12-07, version 20.0*

Last update broke lift status so you can no longer see les grands montets opening status making it pretty useless as that’s where we usually ski. Been broken for two weeks already.

### 2/5 — New version 1/12 disappointing

*2025-12-01, version 20.0*

The new App is harder to read and the weather forecast is much less helpful. Why do away with one of the best features?

### 5/5 — Utile et complète

*2025-08-03*

Venant  dans la vallée depuis 1975 avec des périodes d’absence, je regarde les actualités et les webcam depuis chez moi. Quand je viens dans la vallée l’été,  je consulte la météo qui est précise, les horaires des transports et des bennes et les nouvelles règles. Application vraiment complète et utile.

### 2/5 — Horrible bus tracking Ui

*2025-03-04, version 18.008*

So hard to find the bus stops and which direction they go in. You can’t even find where you are located on the map!

### 2/5 — Info

*2024-11-05, version 18.007*

Incapable de trouver le niveau de difficulté des pistes skiable!

### 3/5 — Transport

*2024-11-03*

La précédente application « Transport »  qui était liée était beaucoup plus pratique avec les temps d’arrivée en direct des bus en circulation et la possibilité d’avoir sur l’écran  d’accueil la prochaine arrivée à nos arrêts privilégiés.

### 5/5 — BELE APPLI

*2024-01-25*

Déjà très jiii logo de chamonix. Bravo ! Ensuite , ce principe de carré puzzle facile à lire me plaît beaucoup pour trouver casi d’un coup mes recherches

### 2/5 — This is an app?

*2023-12-27, version 18.005*

Just a series of links to pdfs and web pages. App will reset itself for no good reason (send you back to start page). Lift and trail status not always correct. Minimum effort.
