About this property

Chalet-apartment with internet access near slopes; ideal for skiers and walkers

'Stunning location...quiet but close enough to everywhere else as/when you needed it...spotlessly clean and well-equipped - and the most wonderful of views'. These are comments from a renter who enjoyed his stay in our flat which is within walking distance of the ski-lifts and the best nursery and intermediate slopes in Chamonix.

Argentière which has some of the best piste and off-piste skiing in the world is 5 minutes down the road, although many find the Le Tour slopes all they need for a week. Argentière also has a number of good restaurants and shops. The whole area is teeming with activities, both in summer and winter; a walker's paradise, ideal for family holidays and for those who just want to relax in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

May and June are great months to visit when the mountain flowers are appearing. Le Tour is also very well placed for visiting Switzerland (10 mins), Italy (30 mins), and Annecy and Geneva (1 hour). Lock-up garage and plenty of outside parking.


Le Tour has more sunshine than any other part of the valley. Summer activities in Chamonix include summer-tobogganing, canyoning, white-water rafting, ice-climbing, mountain biking, and adventure trails up in the trees; and sometimes you can't see the sky for the parachutists. Take the train to visit the inside of the glacier, or from Le Fayet to the nearest you can be transported to the summit of Mont Blanc. Chamonix is the European centre for mountaineering and has a very good climbing school. In the winter the skiing is famed world wide and the area has over 600 kms of pistes and 200 lifts. Argentière has some of the best off-piste skiing in Europe. Le Tour has excellent nursery slopes and good intermediate skiing for the whole family.

Another fantastic half-term in Le Tour
We didn't lack anything. The apartment is exactly as described and pretty much perfect for a family or two/three couples and the location just couldn't be better. Walking distance to Charamilion, very close to shops in Argentiere and Grand Montets, safe, quiet and away from hustle and bustle of the centre of Chamonix. Laura is a wonderful and very helpful host. We hope to keep on returning on regular basis!

Lovely homely property with really comfy beds and two bathrooms which made it perfect for a family ski trip. Garage was a bonus as we watched others struggle to clear snow from their cars. Would recommend this property and hope to return.

Lovely property close to the slopes
Very comfortable property, split over 2 floors, fitted our family of 5 in with no problem at all. Nice and clean. We felt very well looked after by the owner, who was very organised in sending us all of the information we needed about the property / local area before we arrived.

very comfortable apartment
We recently had a very comfortable stay in this apartment. John Hart, the owner, is very genuine and lovely. Aude, who looks after your stay in France was also very lovely and helpful. The log burner is a real treat after a day in the snow; although I recommend only one log at a time as I have never seen such an efficient burner. Beds are really comfortable. The kitchen and apartment are very well equipped – although I could never work out how to use the microwave – either as a microwave or an oven. The instructions are all in French which to my shame left me stumped – so oven hob was the way for me! The internet speed is very good also. The apartment, as John points out in his pre stay e-mails, is also their family home, and certainly we felt the benefit of being in a home, and not just a rental apartment, with comfortable and cosy chairs to snug into when watching an evening DVD with the fire. The use of the garage is a bonus. Especially not having to clear snow off the car. Only word of caution – if you are over 5’8, watch out for the casing above the top of the stairs. I would certainly love to stay again. I also suspect that summer must be wonderful, with the balcony looking towards Mont Blanc and the garden. Even in February – on a sunny day – the balcony was wonderful to sit on.

Very positive experience
I stayed in this chalet-apartment for one week at the height of the season in February. Everything was very positive, with no surprises. Location was good, in Le Tour, a ten-minute walk from the Col de Balme Ski-lift, and a short bus-ride to Grands Montets. I was there with my family for the skiing and all went according to plan. Very positive experience overall, and I would recommend to anyone considering a break there.

Excellent property, superb host
We really liked John's place in Le Tour. It's a wee bit far from the centre of chamonx, but we knew that going in, and between our having a hire car and the multitude of public transport options available it was no problem at all. The place is very comfortable and everything works. If you are hiking, there are numerous paths in the immediate vicinity. If you are skiing, Le Tour is right there - the lift is about a 3 minute walk. Most of all, John and his french associate who showed us the place were the epitome of helpful and welcoming. Very highly recommended.

Lovely week
Another great weeks stay in Le Tour. We always come to the Chamonix area in the summer for some hiking. A little less busy in Le Tour which is great and Argentiere is just a short trip away. The bus passes are great and get you all the way to Chamonix in no time. The apartment was fantastic with great views down the valley. Thank you very much. Mark Snodgrass

Fantastic location and facilities
We - a family of four with 2 children - have rented this apartment so many times in the last few years that we've lost count of how many exactly. We keep coming back because this region is superb, and the apartment ideally situated to enjoy all outdoor activities it has to offer. We also keep coming back because the apartment - bright, spacious, wonderfully well equipped, in a calm peaceful spot - is easy to feel at home in. Last but not least, we appreciate how helpful and responsive the owner is whenever we've addressed him questions. Most highly recommended.

A Wonderful Chalet Apartment in Le Tour
Six of us (four adults and two children) stayed here for a week and a half at the beginning of 2015. The chalet is tucked away at the bottom of the Le Tour ski slopes and has a wonderful view down the valley. The apartment has everything you could ask for to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. Its large enough so that you don't get under each others feet, but cosy enough to enjoy a quiet evening in front of the fire (wood burner) with a glass of wine after the children have gone to bed. The great thing about Le Tour is the easy access to the ski slopes and if you love a quieter pace of life then this will suit you perfectly. On the morning before we left approximately 20 cm of snow fell and before we were even fully awake it was being cleared, so do not worry about getting stuck in bad weather, just make sure you have snow chains. Argentiere is the next village down the valley and has all the shopping facilities you will need to survive day-to-day and some great restaurants. The restaurants in Le Tour only seemed to open for lunch and close for dinner whilst we were there. Chamonix is a bit further on from Argentiere and is easy to get to by Car, bus from Le Tour or train from Argentiere. The owner and local caretaker were both very helpful, friendly and professional. They kept us informed through the entire process from booking to leaving and provided us with a wealth of information for all aspects of our stay. I would recommend this chalet apartment to anyone looking for a quieter place to stay whilst exploring Chamonix and the surrounding area.

This is a great place to bring the kids. Its quiet, close to the slopes and has a large garage. There is plenty of space and the facilities are good. Isabel, who looks after the place, is very helpful. Remember to bring snowchains in winter.

The best place for skiing
We are a family of four and this is our second time in Le Tour and both times we had a great time. The skiing is absolutely wonderful and the slopes are great for all levels and ages. We highly recommend this apartment, it’s comfortable and got everything you need and the free use of the Wifi is essential as you can check the weather and the snow report every morning. It is especially well located – you can walk to the ski lift and you can come back skiing all the way back to the apartment (my boys loved that!). Le tour is a great place and the snow is plentiful there, probably because it’s situated at the top of the valley. The free bus, that takes you to all the other resorts, is handy as well.

Fabulous Apartment
This is a gem of an apartment - it's set back from the main drag and nice and quiet. Having said this, it's about a 4 minute walk up to the ski lift in Le Tour and the bus that transports you to the rest of the resort, so you are not isolated. The apartment seems spacious - there were 6 of us staying there and the 2 .5 bathrooms made our lives much easier. Enough hot water for all of us to shower straight after coming in from the slopes! The apartment is comfortably fitted out and there is enough crockery, cutlery, etc! We had excellent customer service from the owner and I would highly recommend this apartment to friends and family alike.

Fantastic stay for 6 of us in Le Tour
6 of us - 2 couples and 2 children had a fantastic stay in this apartment which exceeded our expectations! The apartment is well laid-out, comfortable, well equipped and clean. There was always enough hot water for the 5 skiers after a day on the slopes! I am sure the large balcony would be fantastic in warmer weather with great views. The owner and local manageress were both extremely helpful when booking and during our stay and the information provided on the site was accurate. We did not have a car and the Le Tour lift is a short walk from the apartment. We did not envy people having to find space in the very full carparks each day or having to deal with the snow and ice! We made use of the ski bus and skied in Le Tour (including to Vallorcine), Argentiere, Flegere / Brevent and did a day trip to Courmayeur. We definitely recommend the apartment and location and were pleased to be away from the busyness of Chamonix during New Year's week. Thanks for a great stay and hope to be back soon!

Great Base camp for the Top of Mont-Blanc!
Our family project was to climb the Mont-Blanc, and we succeed! This apartment was very comfortable, quiet and clean, well equipped. We appreciated to have three separate bedrooms, two bathrooms and WC, a wash machine and a dryer machine, Internet... Le Tour is a very beautiful and quiet village (to much tourists in Chamonix in August), very good point of start for all walkings, hiking or excursions in the Chamonix valley and Switzerland. I recommend - refuge Albert 1er- Le Buet - Le glacier du Trient - barrage d'Emosson - Lac Blanc - Aiguillette de Posette ...- everything closed to le Tour. En français: notre projet familial était de gravir le sommet du Mont-Blanc et nous avons réussi! Nous avons apprécié l'appartement confortable, calme et très bien équippé ( trois chambres à coucher vraiment indépendantes, deux salles de bain et WC, une machine à laver et un sèche linge collectifs pour les quatre appartements du chalet, internet...). Le Tour est un très joli village typique et surtout très calme contrairement à Chamonix qui est très fréquenté au mois d'août. C'est un très bon point de départ pour toute randonnée, course ou excursion dans la vallée de Chamonix et de l'autre côté de la frontière Suisse (ci-dessus quelques exemples de sorties). Merci à M. Hart pour ce "Base camp"!

This is a great place to stay, particularly if you want a bit of peace and quiet in the evenings. The views are fantastic and it is only a short walk to the slopes. We took our three young kids and they had a great time. There is a woodburner, a tv and DVD player and the rooms are clean and well equipped. The owner and Isabelle, who looks after the property, were very helpful indeed. We will be back next year.

Lovely apartment in Beautiful Le Tour
Myself and 5 friends had a lovely long weekend in this apartment and managed to have 3 full days skiing in the most fabulous conditions. The apartment is a short stroll from the lift base which then takes you up to a wonderful skiing area. This year we even managed to ski down to Vallorcine - thanks to the great snow. The apartment was very comfortable, well maintained, clean, very well equipped and had great views. Leading up to our stay we found the owner very helpful indeed, even offering to book us a table at a nearby restaurant on the Friday night due to us arriving early evening. We didn't have a car, having organised a private transfer from Geneva however that didn't stop us from getting around as we made us of the ski bus to Argentiere for early apres ski and also a trip into Chamonix late afternoon which arrived back in Le Tour at around 8pm. The L'Olympique Hotel in Le Tour has a lovely restaurant with great food and friendly service and couldn't do enough for us when we ran out of Lemons for our Gin & Tonics in the apartment, more than happily giving us what we needed!! On the whole I would recommend this apartment for either a family or like us 6 adults and hope to return at some time in the future.

Pleasant chalet ideally situated for summer hiking
Very pleasant, clean and very well equipped apartment with plenty of storage space in garage. Space just OK for 5 adults although access via uneven steps and steps without a supporting rail were tricky for our elderly relative. Car essential for access to food shops, including boulangerie in Argentiere. Well situated for us to hike 3 sections of Tour de Mont Blanc between Champex Lac and Chamonix using either public transport or cars at each end. No unpleasant surprises, the apartment was accurately described and plenty of helpful information about the apartment itself, directions, location and opportunities in the area was provided. Communication with the owner re booking was easy and his approach flexible. Arrangements for arrival and leaving were fine and we knew where to obtain help locally if necessary during our stay.

Why they chose this property

It is in a beautiful and very quiet area but close to a large and busy town. There are all-year round activities from skiing to whitewater rafting and golf and tennis among many others.

What makes this property unique

Amazing views and the best ski slopes in the world, yet a very quiet location well served by public transport.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I DO NOT CHARGE EXTRA FOR CLEANING. IT IS INCLUDED IN THE RENT. BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE GUESTS LEAVING THE APARTMENT CLEAN AND TIDY.
