Notes on accommodation
The proximity to the town centre restaurants and bars could not be better. Unfortunately this means that on busy nights it can be noisy if you are used to more rural living. In our view the benefits outweigh the noise and we use foam earplugs during busy periods to ensure an uninterrupted sleep.

Accessibility
The apartment is accessible via 4 steps up from the car park and then there is a 4 person lift which operates from the ground floor but does not access the basement. The property has not been adapted for wheelchair users.
Outside
Although this Chamonix apartment enjoys the most fantastic central location, the buildings outside the windows are almost all low level which means that it is not really overlooked allowing views of 3 aspects.
The apartment has a large terrace balcony which extends most of the length of the apartment with fantastic views of the Bosson Glacier and Mont Blanc. Relax in the comfortable deck chairs and enjoy the magnificent view.
There is private parking for 2 cars which takes all the hassle out of trying to find a parking space. There is also a private lockable ski cave in the basement which is extremely useful for skiers.
Golf
Chamonix has an 18 hole golf course just a 10 min walk from the town centre. It is possible to hire clubs, trolleys, buggies and even balls at the club so if the weather is good there is nothing to stop you playing a round in the beautiful surroundings of the Chamonix valley.
Skiing
Chamonix is one of the most accessible of the French ski resorts, less than an hour and a half from Geneva airport and less than 8 hours from Calais. Skiing is possible in a chain of ski areas along both sides of the valley dominated by Mont Blanc.
The Chamonix valley caters for all levels of skier and snowboarder. There are blue runs for beginners and excellent ski schools. Intermediate skiers can spend a week in the valley without going to the same place twice. More advanced skiers will find the possibilities endless with the Grands Montets at Argentiere and for the adventurous book a guide and ski the famous Vallee Blanche. If you like variety then the Mont Blanc unlimited lift pass also covers skiing in Les Houches and Courmayer (through the tunnel).
Travel
By air - Geneva airport is only one hours drive from Chamonix and is motorway/dual carriageway all the way. The easiest and quickest way to Chamonix from Geneva is via an airport transfer company. An internet search will identify many providers at approx 25 euros each way.
Car hire - Geneva airport offers a range of car hire companies if you wish to self drive. It's not essential to have a rental car though, when you are in Chamonix.
Further details
Chamonix offers a range of modern amenities including a fully equipped sports centre/pool, ice rink, climbing wall, bowling alley and cinema.
In summer, the Chamonix valley is just as exciting and beautiful to visit and is world renowned for walking, climbing and mountain biking. The white water activities are also very popular with our family followed by a game of tennis (5 minute walk) where you can hire rackets and finish with a beer on their terrace.
