Further Information:
Chamonix is very convenient for access as it is only 60min from Geneva airport by private airport transfer.
Chamonix is world renowned for not only its skiing and boarding set in and around the biggest and baddest mountains in Western Europe, but also for its apres ski, nightlife and shopping (Chanel, Benetton etc).
Think Vallee Blanche, or Grands Montets, home of the 'Steep and Deep', but not all the skiing is scary, there is plenty of less challenging skiing available, but all with the constant back drop of Mt Blanc. In fact there are two beginners areas just a few minutes walk from the chalet. There is also a lot to do for the non skiers, as Chamonix is a real town and one of Europes most popular tourist destinations. Finally our chalet is perfect for mixed groups and families, with toys, dvds and games for the kids and a big garden to play, plus a log fire or sunny balcony for the adults to relax in the evening whilst the kids watch TV or one of our many dvds in the TV room.
Golf:
This 18 hole golf course lies at the foot of Mont Blanc in the village of Le Praz between Chamonix and Argentiere. It is often referred to as one of the most beautiful in Europe. Designed by Robert Trent Jones senior and set amongst alpine peaks the par 72.5 course boasts a combination of strategy and subtlety. The river Arve winds it way through part of the course and no score should be thought safe until you put into the 18th hole.
Pro shop and a 26 stand driving range (8 covered)
