The apartment is located in the centre of the village of Argentière. It is just a 5 minute walk from the gondola giving access to the Grand Montets ski area which is famously the home of some of the Chamonix Valley’s more challenging pistes. In winter there is a cross country ski track nearby and in summer Argentière is the start point for many amazing hiking trails. The apartment is situated directly above arguably the best bakery in the Valley, so fresh croissants each morning couldn’t be more convenient. The village of Argentière has a great range of bars, restaurants and shops providing plenty of options for apres ski, lunch and dinner. Additionally there is a bus stop and train station within 5 minutes walk of the apartment which gives you easy access to the other villages and ski areas of the Chamonix Valley. The apartment is located above a bakery and although this is mostly seen as connivence as the bakery is of the best in the valley, it’s worth mentioning and those who are are light sleepers have heard disturbance during their stay.
