PERFECT FOR : a group of friends, or a large family, looking for a sociable, bright apartment with easy access to Chamonix centre.
THE BUILDING : is an old stone townhouse split into two apartments – your apartment is on the ground and lower floor. The house is located on a quiet lane, but train tracks do run along the lane in front of the apartment. It is only a small, local train that uses these tracks, and it runs just once an hour and only during the day. Double glazed windows keep the sound to a minimum.
INSIDE : Modern, minimalist decor and white walls create a bright open space to live in. Upon entry you will find the first double bedroom to the right and the small double bunk room to the left. The second double bedroom is also to the right along with a small communal area with sofa, the large family bathroom with a bath and separate shower is also on this level. The stairs to the lower level are next to the bunk room here you will find the lounge with a giant, comfortable, L-shaped sofa, perfect for watching Netflix on the SMART TV and a large kitchen/diner opening out onto the terrace. There is an additional WC with a washing machine and tumble dryer.
OUTSIDE : The garden is at the back of the house and boasts views of the Mont-Blanc Mountain range. The apartment has its own large, enclosed, decked terrace where you can sit and admire the views. The grassed area is not accessible to this apartment.
GREAT LOCATION : You are just a 6-minute walk into the centre of Chamonix, great for taking advantage of the local bars and restaurants, and convenient for the shops, supermarkets, and ski/bike hire. In the other direction you are not far from Lac des Gaillands and its climbing wall and Acropark fun.
GETTING AROUND : You are just a few minutes’ walk from the Aiguille du Midi or Moussoux train stations and the bus stop, with bus and train services up and down the valley, from Saint Gervais le Fayet to Vallorcine and Switzerland. Buses are free with your lift pass, or you can buy tickets online in advance or on the bus. Chamonix Holidays will provide your group with tourist cards (Carte d’hotes), which give you free travel on the local train service plus discounts at the pool and entry to museums. Night bus’s run between Argentiere and Les Houches and cost 4€ per person.
USEFUL BITS : WiFi is provided by Orange, it is not fibre (yet) but it is a pretty good service. The kitchen is fully equipped and should have everything you need for your stay, including a Nespresso coffee machine. You can store skis in a lockable unit at the back of the house or in the lockable garage at the front of the house.
YOUR ARRIVAL : Arrive any time after 16h and with our self-check-in process, you do not need to worry about being a little earlier or later than planned. You will receive arrival instructions with a key box code to let yourself in when you arrive!
PARKING : You have no need to worry about parking as you have a lockable garage and space for a second car outside the garage.
