Photos and Description of this Argentiere holiday apartment 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, sleeps 6 - floor area: 62.50 sq. metres

'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.

Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Argentiere, France

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 piste's and 200 lifts. Argentiere has some of the best off-piste skiing in Europe. Le Tour has excellent nursery slopes and good intermediate skiing for the whole family.

Comfortable, great location

TobyM New York City
Review Submitted: July 24, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Five of us (one couple and 3 friends) stayed here for a week in July. Everyone in our party agreed: the apartment was great -- very comfortable, esp. with the nice kitchen and tidy laundry downstairs. We were happy to be outside of busy/touristy Chamonix, and we all enjoyed hiking in the nearby mountains. Gorgeous views everywhere.

The owner and local caretaker were both pleasant and professional.

For mountaineers, the Albert 1er Hut is a short (~2 hr w/ the lift) hike away and serves as an access point to the Le Tour Glacier, A. d. Chardonnay, A. d. Tour etc. Something for all skill levels.

We had a car, although it seemed that you could get by without it if you're a good planner. The car did help with groceries though.

Wonderful Location, Comfortable Appartment

The Tartan bunch Scotland
Review Submitted: September 5, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
The Gillies family spent another wonderful stay in Le Tour. The view from the apartment's balcony is wonderful and inspires one to head for the cable cars which speed one to heights that would take many hard hours hiking to reach. You can walk from Le Tour to the surrounding hills and while being immensely pleasurable it can be strenuously steep at times and alternative is to take the Balme uplift and walk to Albert hut through stunning scenery. We again purchased Multipasses which are great value. As usual the flat was very comfortable and functional and so cosy on the few occasions of torrential rain and colder Scottish type weather! We also caught a Celtic music festival in Chamonix and saw one of our local pipe bands. All the musicians and dancers were wonderful. If you want an exciting 'walk' check out the route to the Envers D'Aiguille hut! It was sensational.
We would love to see the area in winter raiment sometime. I would also think the Tour du Mont Blanc or sections of it could be a future possibility?

Thanks again John for your magic wee hoose up the glen.

Fantastic skiing holiday

Bavarian skiers Gräfenberg/Bavaria/Germany
Review Submitted: April 30, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
We stayed in the apartment for a week around Easter 2009 and spent fabulous skiing holidays. We travelled as a party of six, two of us were teenagers. The young guys and their parents agreed that the accommodation is an ideal location for a skiing holiday in the area. It's well equipped, very comfortable and clean. There's a garage you can use for either the car or the skis, which is very useful. We enjoyed the lovely sunny balcony every evening after skiing.
If you prefer easy skiing you can ski the slopes in Le Tour, which are just in the distance of some minutes walk. For more experienced skiers the slopes in Argentiere (Les Grandes Montets) or in Chamonix are the place to go. We enjoyed incredible blue skies and awesome, demanding slopes there. All the places are easy to reach by car, but there's also a public skibus provided for the transfer.
The chalet in Le Tour is situated in a wonderful landscape. As Le Tour is a very small village, it is a very quiet place without the disadvantages of mass tourism like i. e. in Chamonix. Therefore you can easily recreate for your next skiing adventure the next day ;-)
The owner as well as Ivonne, the housekeeper, are very friendly, co-operative and helpful people, which we appreciated very much. They provided every information we needed.
We can absolutely recommend this place (also for mountaineering in summer!) and we'll definitely be back.

Les Diamond Co Durham
Review Submitted: April 13, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
Our second stay at this accommodation. There were 5 of us, one couple and 3 singles. The sleeping arrangements were ideal for this.

The accommodation is very nice (see the pictures) and the location is excellent. There is parking very close to the apartment and you can use the garage for storing you snowboards and skis. This is very useful as it saves clutter and mess in the apartment.

We've stayed at various places in the valley and Le Tour offers the best value for good accommodation and the best access to the slopes. Being a small village you need to travel for shopping and evening entertainment. If you have a vehicle that's no issue as its all only about 3-4 miles away. travel during the day is easy even without a vehicle as the bus service is very good, and you are always travelling the opposite direction to the main flow of people.

The owner is very easy to deal with and the agent is resort couldn't be any better. We had an issue with our vehicle and she spent a lot of time and effort helping us to sort it out. It certainly saved us wasting a lot of our holiday trying to solve it on our own. Many thanks for that.

If your going to holiday in the Cham valley then do a bit of research on Le Tour, and put this accommodation on your list of possibles.

The world´s best skiing

Snowmad Figueres, Girona, Spain
Review Submitted: March 24, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
If you want to enjoy the world´s best skiing and snowboarding, on and off piste, while spending your nights quietly squirrelled away in a tranquil, unspoilt hamlet, then this apartment in a chalet could be for you. It´s worth staying here for the spectacular view from the lounge and balcony alone. The homely touches, wood panelling and stove are all bonuses. Equipment is good and the garage underneath means you don´t have to chip your windows clear or dig your car out after a snowfall. By French standards the main bedroom is a good size but the low headroom in the other two makes them more suitable for children. The apartment is within easy walking distance of the Le Tour lifts and there´s an excellent free bus service connecting with the other ski areas. We would certainly recommend this property.
