The nearby slopes are ideal for intermediate and experienced skiers. Some of the higher slopes offer skiing later in the season, sometimes right up to early May.

All the facilities of the Chamonix region are on your doorstep. Argentière station for the Mont-Blanc-Express is just a 15-minute walk away, offering free railway services in the Mont Blanc valley. During the summer months, the choice of activities is endless; stunning mountain trails for hiking or mountain biking, white water rafting, golf, rock climbing, paragliding and horse riding.

The village is home to some excellent restaurants and bars to suit all budgets. For self-catering, Argentière’s weekly market is on Sunday mornings (in season) for the freshest local produce. Geneva airport is a 1.5-hour drive from the apartment.
