Photos and Description of the Argentiere vacation apartment rental 3 Bedrooms, luxury bathroom and showerroom, balcony, views, sleeps 7

Newly renovated to a very high standard, this apartment is set over two floors in a traditional stone chalet in the heart of the old village of Le Tour, providing excellent self-catering accommodation for both summer and winter rentals. The apartment provides perfect access to the many exciting winter and summer activities for which the valley is famed. It is a two minute walk to both the nursery slopes and the Le Tour cable car which gives access to excellent intermediate skiing and snowboarding. Argentiere, with its demanding runs and some of the best off-piste skiing in Europe, is a short five minute drive away. The apartment has benefited from recent refurbishment yet retains its traditional charm and features. It would provide the perfect base for families or couples looking to explore the valley. Our excellent English and French speaking agent will meet and greet you and be on hand during your stay to help and advise you.

Further details for this vacation apartment rental in Argentiere, France

Winter in the Chamonix valley.: Some of the best and most demanding skiing and snowboarding in the world is to be found in the valley, with some 200 lifts and 600kms of pistes. For intermediates and experts some of the longest and steepest runs are to be found at the Grand Montets (3200m) in Argentiere as well as at the Aiguille du Midi (3825m) in Chamonix itself. Le Tour offers excellent conditions for beginners and intermediates alike and is ideal for a family holiday. Because of the situation the quality of the snow remains good until late in the season. For those who prefer cross-country skiing there are a number of trails in the valley. In addition, Le Tour boasts more sunshine than any other part of the valley!

Summer in the Chamonix valley: The valley is equally fabulous in the summer as in winter! Chamonix is the centre for mountaineering in Europe and houses the French mountaineering school. In addition, there are opportunities for the adventurous to try their hand at canoeing, white water rafting, mountain biking and paragliding. The summer luge (kids of all ages love this!) and the Foret d'Aventure (trails with ropes up in the trees) can be found in Chamonix. If you prefer your pursuits a little gentler, there are walks and hikes of varying lengths and difficulties. Many of the cable cars are open during the summer months so that everyone can enjoy the spectacular panoramas of Mont Blanc and the neighbouring peaks. Two tramways operate - to the Mer de Glace (largest glacier in Europe) from Chamonix and the St Gervais Tramway affording fantastic views of Mont Blanc. There are also nature reserves within a few miles, plus the more usual tennis, swimming and horse riding.

What else?: Le Tour is ideally situated for exploring a little further afield. Switzerland is just a short drive away and Italy is easily accessible via the Mont Blanc Tunnel. If you prefer to stay put, Chamonix has much to recommend it - a wide variety of shops, cafes and restaurants, with weekend markets in both Chamonix and Argentiere.

Other Activities: canoeing, white-water rafting

Le Tour apartment home from home

Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: April 2009
Thought that I had better write this all be it a little late,
Stayed in the apartment during Easter 09 ,
A fantastic home from home, with all of the required bits and pieces to make your stay very pleasant.
Anne contacted me after the stay for my views which could make it better I could give her little or no imput.
The property is in quiet location near to the lifts, it has been renovared to a high standard and was plenty big enough for 5 of us.
Would be happy to stay here in the future!!!!

Review Submitted: April 13, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This was my third stay at this accommodation so no prizes for guessing we are more than happy with it. It offers a high standard of accomodation at a very reasonable price and it's a pleasure dealing with the owner and the agent in the valley. They couldn't have been more helpful or reliable.

There were 5 in our party, two couples and a single. The sleeping arrangements are perfect for this and could easily included another single. All the facilities would just have easily coped with 6.

We like Le Tour as it's ideally placed for access to the slopes. The Le Tour lifts are only a few hundred metres away and you can ski/board back to within 20 metres of your door. Access to the rest of the valley is by bus with everyone else travelling in the opposite direction, plenty of space there. It's very quiet on a night requiring a short trip into Argentier for any night life (Chamonix would be better for those looking for more).

If you like the idea of staying at Le Tour then this apartment will be very hard to beat.

Lovely Le Tour

Kickolas London
Review Submitted: March 23, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2009
This is a fantastic spot - only a stone's throw from the cable car in quiet Le Tour and the baby slopes. Chalet itself was spotless, well organised and decked out, comfortable, and provided plenty of space and privacy for two couples to share - also terrific value. There's lots of wood on interior to give it the chalet feel, but also has all mod-cons. Only drawback is there's no washing machine for the ski stuff - but didn't matter for one week's stay. We (two couples, no kids) particularly liked that there were two double bedrooms with separate bathrooms/toilets. Showers are decent - beds are very comfy. There's cable tv if you want it (came in handy for watching six nations rugby). No phone - but UK mobiles worked fine. Lovely dining area - we had many long meals around the dining table discussing the day's boarding adventures! Lots of cumfy sofa/arm chair space for lounging about after too. We only ate out once over the week. Chalet is so convenient that we also popped back for soup/sandwiches for lunch too before returning to slopes - which helps keep the food costs down. Chalet's no smoking, but the terrace provides plenty of room to pop out for quick smoke. Heating was very efficient - so didn't bother with fire. You can ski//board to the door. Owner was super helpful with all the questions we had before we arrived, and caretaker made sure everything went smoothly while we were there. Le Tour is a quiet village - no life after about 6pm - so don't come here if you want to party within walking distance. That said, Argentiere is five minutes away on the free valley bus (Chamonix is 15 mins away), so evening fun is not far away. We didn't bother hiring car - made do with direct van shuttle up from Geneva airport and valley bus service which works well and is free with ski pass. There are bus stops at all main ski points and supermarkets. Argentiere supermarket has everything you need, but is quite expensive. Slight downside is bus stops at about 7pm - after that its hitch or rely on fairly thin taxi service. Let Tour ski/boarding is great for all levels and has a ski school base too. One of the ski lifts broke down for an hour one day, but otherwise the infrastructure worked well and queues weren't off-putting. Le Tour could do with a few more chair lifts instead of button lifts. All in all, the chalet is so lovely that I thought twice about writing this review for fear the secret would be out and I wouldn't be able to book it again. Enjoy!

Excellent apartment with a warm welcome

Review Submitted: March 19, 2009 Date of Stay: March 2009
This apartment is excellent. The decor is done to a very high standard.This was our second trip to chamonix and selected this apartment due to its very close proximity to the Le Tour ski area. We actually Snowboarded back to the door of the property on numerous occasions during our stay. When we arrived we were met by the local person who gave us a warm welcome and provided us with lots of information regarding the area. During our stay we also had a Phone call to check if everything was ok.

We had a great trip thanks
