Further details for the apartment in France

The Mont Blanc mountain range is a World Heritage site....... .. Its dramatic scenery, with Mont Blanc itself, the famous Chamonix Needles and the huge glaciers descending into the Chamonix Valley, is unparalleled. The skiing is so varied that everyone can have a wonderful time. For experts it must be hard to beat the mind-blowing high altitude off-piste glacier skiing. For intermediates and beginners there is a huge choice, all with views to die for of the Mont Blanc range. We can advise on the best place to ski according to snow and weather conditions and arrange for personally known Ski Instructors or Mountain Guides to take you skiing. Heli-skiing can be arranged. In addition to downhill skiing you can go snowboarding (2 dedicated snow parks), cross country skiing, ski touring (Chamonix is the start of the famous 6-day Haute Route to Zermatt), ski mountaineering, winter climbing, ice climbing, paraski, telemarking, heliskiing.

For non skiers, the walking or snowshoeing in the area surrounding Servoz, through the forests and little hamlets, is so peaceful and beautiful that you would have no idea that there is a vast ski industry just around the corner. You can drink in the clear air and spectacular scenery of the Mont Blanc range. The Montenvers cog railway takes you to the foot of the Vallee Blanche in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif. The Mont Blanc 'Express' , with its panoramic roof takes you through the mountains from Servoz to Martigny in Switzerland, and the famous Gianadda Foundation which always has first class temporary exhibitions as well as its permanent art collections. You could visit spas at St. Gervais, Lavey-les-Bains in Switzerland, or Pre St. Didier in Italy, all within easy driving distance.

Summer

The Chamonix Valley is stunningly beautiful – the awe-inspiring views of the eternal snows above make a strong contrast with the summer warmth of the valleys below. Walk in alpine meadows full of flowers with the sound of cowbells in the distance, through forests past streams and waterfalls. There is a huge range of things to do for all ages including teenagers and children, from climbing, mountaineering on the glaciers and adventure sports, to tennis, golf and swimming in the valley. For younger children there are adventure parks and pony clubs. In addition there are good markets in local towns, museums and exhibitions, and of course a huge choice of restaurants and cafes in which to relax.
