No — you do not need to wear your Chamonix lift pass visibly, as long as it’s easily scannable.

All Chamonix ski passes use RFID (radio frequency) technology, which allows for hands-free access at the gates. For the best experience:

  • Store the pass in your left jacket pocket
  • Make sure it’s not covered by foil, metal, or other RFID cards
  • Only carry one pass at a time to avoid gate errors

There’s no need to remove it or clip it to the outside of your clothing. Just ski through the gates — and you’re in.
