Chamonix holiday apartment "Residence Barrats A"

We purchased this apartment with the intention of retiring here one day. Everything from appliances to light switches are the kind you would feel happy with using on a daily basis, with a touch of sophistication. We are hands-on owners and visit a few times a year to keep everything new, fresh, and upgraded. We replace items regularly and add amenities. We have included loads of little extras you often don't find in rental properties to make this your best vacation possible. We hope we have touches that will make you feel at home and in the lap of luxury. We'd love you to come here for one holiday, then return for every vacation.

Chamonix is one of the world's most famous ski areas, having hosted the first Winter Olympics in 1924. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels are well-served in a variety of differing areas around Chamonix, including Brevent, Flegere, the famous Grands Montets and Domaine du Balme. The Mont Blanc pass also covers nearby areas including Les Houches, St Gervais, Megeve, Courmayeur and Les Contamines, all within an easy drive. Slightly further afield, but within an hour's drive are Verbier, La Thuile, Flaine and Les Carroz. Despite its reputation as an area for experts only, there are plenty of green, blue and red runs to satisfy beginners and intermediates alike. For the more experienced, Chamonix has miles and miles of adventurous off-piste, including the famous Vallee Blanche, an 18km experience from the Aiguille du Midi down to the town.
