Skiing at the Brevant is 5 mins by car/bus and the furthest at Le Tour approx 20 mins from town centre.

Further details
Chamonix is a true Alpine town - it is not a purpose built ski resort and it retains many original features. The shops and restaurants are numerous and varied. Well known for the apres ski as much as the skiing. Within the apartment you will find a running commentry on the places we have tried and other people who have stayed - if you go please add your comments! They really help!
Booking notes

Guest comments
"A real home from home - we have been here 4 weeks and don't want to leave".
"We have named this apartment "the snug" - so cosy and welcoming".
Owner profile
About the owner
I have had the apartment for about 6 years now. I have great friend who moved out there and foolishly I once mentioned over lunch that I was thinking of buying a place..... suffice to say that by the time I left 2 days later I had signed!!
It has been the best decision ever. My friend still lives around the corner (hence can rent it as she looks after it for me) and we get out as often as we can. I work as a barrister and the mountains are a great change from the court room.
It is very much a home from home and (touch wood) everyone who has gone there has treated it and enjoyed it as just that.
Apologies in advance for the girlie DVD collection (my other half tells me I have to say that!). actually, he has intervened so the balance is restored!
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
I bought just outside the town centre as I was tipped off about the noise at night when it is busy! The apartment overlooks the river and it is peaceful but its a flat walk into the town so a stroll in at night is nice.
I tend to take it for granted now but the view is spectacular - the glacier it literally right in front of you. It just inspires you to open pour a glass of wine and stay in looking at it!
Unique benefits of the property
The underground parking is a must in the winter. Call me lazy but I am just not into getting up 20 mins earlier to defrost the car.
And .... an open fire just makes the aching bones feel better after a days skiing.
