About this property

The apartment is in a building which was once a small hotel in the old village of Le Tour at the head of the Chamonix valley. The village has 2 bars/restaurants and is 2km from the larger village of Argentiere where there is a supermarket and a good variaty of other shops, bars and restaurants. Le Tour gets a lot more sun than other areas around Chamonix because it is in a higher and more open part of the valley. The windows look onto the old church and some very picturesque old houses, it is also possible to see the Le Tour Glacier. The apartment has parking just in front of the garden and is just 50 meters from the ski area car park. The Le Tour Gondola which is open in the summer for access for walking, mountain biking and the mountain restaurant is just a 2 minute walk from the apartment. From the Chamonix valley it is easy to explore other parts of the Alps. The Aosta valley is just the other side of the Mont Blanc Tunnel and Switzerland is just over the Coll de Montets.

Gelungener Aktivurlaub

Schön eingerichtete und komplett ausgestattete moderne Wohnung.Alles sauber und funktionstüchtig. Stabiles WLAN.Hervorragende Ausgangsbasis für Touren aller Art im Tal zwischen Servoz und Valorcine.Kostenloser Bus und Bahntransfer mit der Gästekarte(Hunde zahlen 50%),auch etliche Wandermöglichkeiten direkt vor der Haustür.. Die Wohnung liegt an einer belebten Straße im Eingangsbereich des Hauses.Das hat uns nicht gestört,weil wir tagsüber nicht da waren und es abends ruhig war.Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen,wir haben noch nicht alles gesehen und kommen bestimmt wieder.

About the host

Hosted by Alastair Dawson

I am a ski instructor currently working on Cairngorm in Scotland. Some years ago I was given the opportunity to work for the Evolution 2 ski school in Chamonix and spent 5 very happy winters teaching skiing in the Chamonix valley and living in the apartment in Le Tour. In summer I have been working as an outdoor instructor for the almost 30 years but now spend most of my time doing woodwork and gardening at my home in the Grampian foothills in Aberdeenshire. I try to spend at least a month at the apartment each winter and a couple of weeks in the summer and autumn, walking, cycling and climbing.
