Chamonix is a year-round resort town, steeped in alpine history and renowned for skiing as well as mountaineering, hiking and parasailing with famous peaks such as Mont Blanc and the Drus. It is accessible to hikers and mountain walkers of all levels. Lift systems in the valley bring you up into the high mountains quickly, and numerous well marked walking paths exist to explore, all the while enjoying gorgeous mountain views. By car you can also make a day trip through the Mt Blanc tunnel to nearby Courmayeur or Aosta Italy and view the castles and Roman ruins in that valley followed by a multi-course Italian lunch or dinner. Local trains and buses bring you up and down the valley to visit the neighbouring towns of Vallorcine, Argentiere, Les Houches and Servoz which together comprise the Chamonix Valley. Also an easy drive to Annecy, set on a lake with a beautiful medieval town centre or to Martigny or Geneva Switzerland (train service available) for museums and art.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Chamonix, France

Hiking and Hill Walking: Local bookstores (one just 3 doors down the street from the flat) sell copies of hiking guides to the area. Hikes can be steep or flat, long or short as desired. Even with small children or the elderly you can for example go by cable car and chair lift for a picnic in a mountain meadow at the top of the Col de Balme with beautiful views of the entire valley, requiring very little physical effort (about 5 minutes walk on a flat trail). Or, for the more adventurous, a day's hike and picnic on the Mer de Glace glacier may appeal (mountain guide references available upon request). Overnight hikes are possible using one of the numerous mountain refuges (with beds and meal service!) without the need for a tent and large backpack. Hiking in the early morning or late evening in the high mountains, you can often see marmots or ibex and beautiful flowers are nearly always in bloom. Robert is a fully qualified hiking guide (IML) and you can speak with him about arranging guided hikes.

Rock Climbing, Mountain Biking, Paragliding: What better place to practice these more so-called 'extreme' sports than Chamonix? In summer time the mountains offer countless routes of more and less technical nature, from bolted sport climbs at Les Gaillands on to multi-day full alpine climbs such as routes in the Aiguilles Rouges. For simple cragging, many guide books are available. For bigger mountain routes hiring a mountain guide is recommended. Mountain bikers will find the Chamonix valley steep and challenging. Most lifts will accommodate bikes for those into downhill (Les Houches is popular). Paragliding fans can find companies set up to take you on tandem jumps as well as courses for learning to pilot the wing yourself! Practice ice climbing in the summer by using the giant crevasses of the Mer de Glace. Equipment rental or purchase is available for these sports at dozens of stores in town. We enjoy many of these sports ourselves, and are happy to answer questions or point you in the right direction to get started.

Golf, Swimming, Horse Riding: Other activities available in the valley are a high quality 18 hole golf course (designed by Trent Jones Sr) with views of the Mont Blanc Massif; horse riding in Argentiere on mountain trails; swimming at the indoor or outdoor pool in the center of town at the Richard Bozon sports centre; going river rafting or body surfing on the Arve river; indoor rock climbing at the gym in Les Houches; and organized activities for children during the school holiday season (creches). Trail and mountain running are very popular now, culminating in the North Face Ultra Trail race in August. We can provide information on any of these activities. There is even a local movie theatre with both English and French language movies shown (2 minutes from the apartment's doorstep!). For a true 'spa day' visit the nearby town of Pre St Didier in Italy 20 minutes away - very affordable yet luxurious. Other smaller spas and massage treatments are available in downtown Chamonix for a quick re-energizing break

Other Activities: ice climbing, glacier walking, ski touring, rock climbing, thermal baths

A very good place where spend holidays

Ismael Barcelona
Review Submitted: September 27, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
The appartment is perfect: in the middle of Chamonix, but without feel people besides you. The sound of the river is the only noise you will hear.
Is incredible to stay on the terrace and see the river on your feet, and the Mont Blanc at the reach of your view.
It's strongly recomended.

Review Submitted: October 25, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2008
This property has fabulous views from the balcony over the river a great place to watch the sun set with a glass of wine. Although we visited out of season there was plenty to do we drove into switzerland and Italy and also got the train into Switzerland. The owners were friendly and helpful and recommended some really good restaurants and bars. Ourson and his girlfriend in their early twenties also loved it. We would love to return.

Fabulous flat!

Fan of Chamonix Scotland
Review Submitted: July 12, 2008 Date of Stay: June 2008
My family and I have just returned from this fabulously situated, cosy flat (July 2008) and have had a brilliant holiday.
Everything was just as described on the owners website -which gives a great deal of info about the flat/town/area -and this was complemented by a very detailed folder of info in the flat itself with recommendations for places to eat, things to do, contact numbers for assistance, suggestions for companies to use for outdoor pursuits etc.
The owners are friendly and approachable and everything was just as good as we'd hoped it would be.
Chamonix is an amazing place - it can be expensive if you want to do lots of adventure activities (parapenting, white water rafting etc) - but walking/hiking/climbing holidays would be much less expensive (just lift passes).
Our children are 12 years old and loved the summer luge and tree top adventure park, unfortunately the excellent public outdoor pool was closed when we were there (swimming when the temp is 26 degrees whilst looking up to the Aiguille de Midi is very nice). Wet weather activities (which we were lucky not to need) are the pool, skating, bowling, cinema, visiting other towns, sitting in lovely cafes eating ice cream (although we did do lots of that!).
Although we normally hire cars on holiday we didn't this year and had no problems getting around. There are numerous companies who will pick you up in Geneva airport and drive you to the town for around 20 -25 euros per passenger and the both the local bus and train services are fantastic.
We would absolutely recommend this brilliant flat to our friends.
