France
Argentiere is a village 5 miles outside Chamonix and is it is where the main ski area of the resort is based. I would suggest staying up in the village of Argentiere and being within walking distance of the Grands Montets which offers awesome skiing.
Argentiere, 5 miles outside Chamonix.
Has regular bus and train service.
Use bus for Le Tour
A 10-minute drive down the valley from Chamonix, the resort’s more sheltered location means it often stays open when the rest of the valley's resorts are closed due to high winds. It's also mostly within the tree line, making it the perfect choice for flat light days.
Les Houches, Chamonix
