Other facilities:
Other facilities can be found in nearby Chamonix. These include a sports centre, gym, swimming pool, bowling alley and cinema.
For those who like to climb there are climbing walls in both Chamonix and Les Houches. There is an ice climbing festival in Argentiere every January, 'L’Argentière la Bessée', which attracts climbers from all parts of the globe.
Getting Around:
For those not wishing to drive themselves there are a number of good airport transfer services that operate from Geneva International Airport. One we have had recommended is A-T-S. While you are staying in Argentiere itself there is an excellent bus service to all the other resorts in the Chamonix Valley. There is also a metre-gauge railway running between St Gervais and Martigny.
Ski:
In addition to the many on- and off-piste runs in Argentiere, there is an ESF Ski School in the village (tel 0033 04 54 0012) and a children's ski club offering superb childminding facilities.
For those looking to go off-piste, it is strongly recommended to do so only in the company of the experienced local guides.
Other Activities:
Snowboarding, white water rafting, snowmobiling, dog-sledding, rock-climbing
