Is it feasible to take a day trip from Chamonix to Annecy. I believe that I can take the TGV train. Does anyone know exactly how this works? I believe I need to transfer to another train but not sure where. How long would the trip take? Also is it worth it to do this? Thanks!

Not really doable by train. No you cannot take the TGV. Yes you would have to change trains. It would probably take ~2.5-3 hours each way and trains are very infrequent.
If you were to do it by car I%26#39;d want to make a two day trip out of it and explore more of the region. Chamonix-Annecy-Albertville-Moutiers-Bourg St. Maurice-Courmayeur-Chamonix would be an interesting trip...

Rent a car and the drive takes 1hour.
I did this last week and had a good day out in Annecy. It was even raining and I don%26#39;t do rain.

www.sncf.fr is the website you need for French railways, but it is not a great train trip - over 2.5 hours as opposed to 1 in a car. Annecy is worth the visit, though.

Chamonix Bus do a day trip to Annecy with a guiode during the summer months (and I think also in the winter). It is 22 euros but I think this Monday may be the last oe of the season.
Annecy is an interesting town on a beatiful lakje an well worth a visit.

I have done it by train in the opposite direction which worked pretty well. But trains are not frequent and from Chamonix you would have to make an early start - the only morning train leaves at 6.53.
