Tucked neatly into the heart of the Haute-Savoie, in charming Chamonix, lies an idyllic home for families and friends seeking an Alpine retreat. Surrounded by snowcapped mountains, including the Alps' most prominent peak, Mont Blanc, it’s not surprising that skiing is a daily ritual here. When you’re in need of a day off, the town of Chamonix is just as exciting as a day on the piste, with its artisan boutiques and an array of fine restaurants. This comfortable apartment considers your every need after a long day of skiing the pistes or hiking around the trails. Cosy up on the balcony chairs to contemplate the snow-topped mountains, or take a peek through the telescope for constellation views. Settle on the plump sofas to discuss today’s tricks and tumbles or gather around the family-style wooden table over fondue – the open-air market on Saturdays is the place to stock up on local cheese. After a day full of adrenaline, what better way than to relax than with a warming pot of melted Savoryarde? Take the Aiguille du Midi cable car up Mont Blanc for exhilarating panoramas of the peaks, or opt for the Pointe Helbronner where you’ll be spoilt with vistas of the vast glacier fields that reach across the Italian border. Your apartment is located right in the centre of town, so you can access ski lifts, restaurants and local sites within a fifteen-minute walking distance.
