Vacation Rental Description
'Stunning location...quiet but close enough to everywhere else as/when you needed it...spotlessly clean and well-equipped - and the most wonderful of views'. These are comments from a renter who enjoyed his stay in our flat which is within walking distance of the ski-lifts and the best nursery and intermediate slopes in Chamonix. Argentière which has some of the best piste and off-piste skiing in the world is 5 minutes down the road, although many find the Le Tour slopes all they need for a week. Argentière also has a number of good restaurants and shops. The whole area is teeming with activities, both in summer and winter; a walker's paradise, ideal for family holidays and for those who just want to relax in a calm and peaceful atmosphere. May and June are great months to visit when the mountain flowers are appearing. Le Tour is also very well placed for visiting Switzerland (10 mins), Italy (30 mins), and Annecy and Geneva (1 hour). Lock-up garage and plenty of outside parking.

  • Owner Location Comment
    Location:Le Tour, Argentiere, Chamonix in France. Nearest Airport : Geneva at 50 Miles. Car: recommended. Le Tour is a small hamlet at the head of the Chamonix valley. It is just off the road to Switzerland which is about 8 minutes drive away. The apartment faces west and looks down the valley to Mont Blanc. Le Tour can be approached either from Geneva or from Martigny, in Switzerland.

    Review Submitted: August 7, 2011 Date of Stay: February 2011
    Thank you for a fantastic week, We could not believe how quiet Le Tour was during a half-term week. The chalet's location is great - the short walk to the lifts was just right to get you warmed up. The ski hire shop in Le Tour was the friendliest I've ever known, 10/10 for warm ski boots each morning! ..... Thank you Isabelle for greeting us and showing us around the chalet. We loved the fire & the children loved the cosy upstairs bedrooms. This has to be the best chalet we've ever stayed in. We will be back!

    Even before arriving, John's efficient and helpful responses to our email enquiries led us to believe that we would be coming to a well-kept and well-appointed apartment. And we were not disappointed: we have been impressed by the chalet's facilities and location. All our needs and desires have been catered for here. Thank you, John and family, for sharing your lovely , comfortable home with us.

    We loved the chalet - perfect position & oh, what a view! ..... We know we would all love to return again. Thank you for a very cosy, comfortable stay - a real 'home from home'.

    Comfortable, great location
    TobyM New York City. Date of Stay: July 2008.
    Five of us (one couple and 3 friends) stayed here for a week in July. Everyone in our party agreed: the apartment was great -- very comfortable, esp. with the nice kitchen and tidy laundry downstairs. We were happy to be outside of busy/touristy Chamonix, and we all enjoyed hiking in the nearby mountains. Gorgeous views everywhere.

    The owner and local caretaker were both pleasant and professional.

    For mountaineers, the Albert 1er Hut is a short (~2 hr w/ the lift) hike away and serves as an access point to the Le Tour Glacier, A. d. Chardonnay, A. d. Tour etc. Something for all skill levels.

    We had a car, although it seemed that you could get by without it if you're a good planner. The car did help with groceries though.

    Cosy chalet in beautiful location
    AnnaT UK. Date of Stay: August 2010.
    The August weather was initially awful (7 deg C, rainy, foggy) and we made use of the woodburner, not what we expected - it cheered us up though! After a couple of days the weather improved and we were able to appreciate the fabulous location properly. Our best walk was up to the Le Tour glacier, via the nearby gondola and then a chair lift. In the warm weather later in the week we enjoyed sitting out on our balcony in the evening. We explored the walks along the petits balcons and the grands balcons, all really well signposted. The 3 day cable car pass was quite pricey but was good value for the amount that we used it. On our last day we went up the Montenvers railway and explored the ice cave in the Montenvers glacier. The chalet was well served by the local bus service and was close to the station. A great spot!

    Wonderful Location, Comfortable Appartment
    The Tartan bunch Scotland. Date of Stay: July 2009The Gillies family spent another wonderful stay in Le Tour. The view from the apartment's balcony is wonderful and inspires one to head for the cable cars which speed one to heights that would take many hard hours hiking to reach. You can walk from Le Tour to the surrounding hills and while being immensely pleasurable it can be strenuously steep at times and alternative is to take the Balme uplift and walk to Albert hut through stunning scenery. We again purchased Multipasses which are great value. As usual the flat was very comfortable and functional and so cosy on the few occasions of torrential rain and colder Scottish type weather! We also caught a Celtic music festival in Chamonix and saw one of our local pipe bands. All the musicians and dancers were wonderful. If you want an exciting 'walk' check out the route to the Envers D'Aiguille hut! It was sensational.
    We would love to see the area in winter raiment sometime. I would also think the Tour du Mont Blanc or sections of it could be a future possibility?

    Thanks again John for your magic wee hoose up the glen.

    Familie Christina Switzerland. Date of Stay: February 2010.We are a family of five that stayed in the apartment for one week. We really enjoyed having 2 bathrooms and the three bedrooms. The kids had some of their own space.

    The views from the apartment are beautiful and you are within walking distance of the ski lifts. It took about 15 min to walk with all your ski gear on, but is easily doable. This made it great for people to get back if they wanted to finish skiing earlier than the rest of the group. 4 of us were beginner skiiers and Le Tour was excellent for this. We were able to progress at our own speed with a telecabine and harder runs here as well.

    We enjoyed the area as it was not crowded. There are a few restaurants in Le Tour and we also drove to Argentiere, which was nice to walk around for shops and restaurants. There is also a supermarket here which is less than 10 min drive.

    We were able to cook and eat in the apartment which is always a nice option when traveling with three kids.

    John was very helpful beforehand and had all the explanations for everything written in the apartment. Isabelle was easy to reach and meet us with keys and for checking out. They were both very knowledgeable about the area and very willing to answer questions.

    We plan on going back in the summer for different views!

    Anja, Hans, Nikki & Tom Dordrecht / The Netherlands. Date of Stay: February 2010
    The conditions for a nice ski vacation were perfect. Plenty of fresh snow a warm sun and no crowded ski pistes.

    Only the last day was not so good weather so we left early in the Friday afternoon and avoid the hectic black Saturday on the way back. Putting snow chains on is an easy job in the snow free underground garage.

    The ski shop "Loc a Pic" next to the telecabine was very good, reasonable priced and very friendly people. For the kids they selected in one go the right boots! It was also very convenient that we could leave all ski equipment in there, so we could make easch day the short walk from the apartment and step into warm ski boots. What a luxury!

    For lunch we used the small and cosy chalet at the ski-piste near the Aiguillere lift where they serve very good and fresh local food in a friendly atmosphere. Reservation is recommended because there are only 24 chairs indoors.

    We surely will return to LeTour and your nice apartment.

    We get many repeat rentals for this 2-floor apartment in a very quiet location with fabulous views from the sunniest part of the Chamonix valley towards Mont Blanc. Plan de Reines is a modern development but in keeping with the traditional buildings and the apartment is fully and well-equipped with hi-fi and wi-fi. The ski slopes are close and the nursery slopes the best in the valley. There are plenty of activities and summertime is as popular as winter. Whether you are a family or a couple, there is something for everyone. Switzerland is 10 minutes away and in under an hour you can be in Italy via the Mont Blanc tunnel. There are many fine restaurants in the area.
