Easy on the Eye Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Auvergne-rhône-alpes

Property Description

A perfect base for an action-packed family trip, whatever the season, this smart apartment isn't one of our biggest homes but it does have a top location. Set in the scenic resort of Argentière, at the foot of the Les Grands Montets skiing area, it's just a matter of steps from the ski lift, and minutes away from the village restaurants, while also being just a thirteen-minute drive from fabulous Chamonix. With spectacular forest and mountain views, and a spot overlooking the shared gardens and the river, it's a calm, quiet retreat after a day on the slopes.

Set in a modern building, with more than a nod to the traditional design of chalets, everything here has been designed for easy living. Wood floors, cosy furnishings and three bedrooms make for a practical choice, and the split-level design makes the most of the space. There's a cosy living area, with a beamed ceiling, and a tall dining table that allows you to take in the view while you're eating – with the rushing of the river a relaxing sound on the balcony.

In the summer months, this area is great for hiking, biking and climbing, while all sorts of winter sports are right on your doorstep. And if you're bringing younger guests, they can run off some steam in the buildings' lawned play area.
