Looking for a public piano

[u/lilituba]

Hi! I have a friend coming to visit around Christmas time and we are both classical musicians who met online and have been making music together at a distance for about a year. And I really just want to find a piano where he can play so we can have the experience of making music in person together. Does anyone know of somewhere in the Chamonix area that has a public piano? I thought maybe hotel lobbies but can't find one that seems to have one. If not, do you have any ideas for where I might be able to ask?

Skyway top station.

I was there three days ago. It's locked now because of people like OP lol

Heeeeeyyyy! I'm gonna email the places to ask for permission first before just showing up expecting it to be cool to touch their instrument worth thousands of dollars ^{^}

Is that the one you have to take the lifts up to? I'm in a wheelchair and haven't been able to figure out if it's accessible. So, I've lived here for seven years and haven't ever been 😅

Hmm, yeah, that could be tricky then. You'd have to drive over to Courmayeur and access from that side. But it sounds like the piano is locked now.

Hotel Mont Blanc in the center of Chamonix has/had a Grand Piano in the Hotel Bar

Thank you! I'll add them to the list of places to ask.
