Location
The apartment is in the centre of the popular resort of Argentière, near the ski lifts, shuttle buses and pistes. The Grands Montets cable car is just a 4-minute walk from the apartment, so guests have easy access to the high mountain slopes all year round. Some of the higher slopes around Argentière offer skiing later in the season, sometimes right up to early May.

During the summer months, the valley is packed with activities from hiking and mountain biking to mountaineering, horse riding, white-water rafting, paragliding, tennis and golf.

Argentière has many of the amenities that visitors need, including restaurants and a supermarket. The weekly market, where you can find the very best local ingredients, takes place every Sunday morning.

All the facilities of the Mont Blanc Valley are on your doorstep. There are free train services on the Mont Blanc Express from Argentière station (1 minute drive), so visitors can explore the whole Mont Blanc valley.
