Our self catering apartment is in Argentiere in the Chamonix Valley. Just a 5 minute walk from the world famous Grand Montets ski lifts and the beginners ski slope at Les Chosalets, the apartment nestles at the foot of the Aiguille Vert massif, with views down the valley to the incomporable Chamonix Aiguilles and Mont Blanc and up the base of the Argentiere glacier to the Aiguille de Chardonnet. So, we’re in a great spot to do whatever you plan on holiday - ski, snowboard, climb, hike, bike, swim or just sit back and enjoy that fresh Alpine air.
