Super feel

The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region

The Chamonix valley has been a Mecca for extreme skiers and mountaineers since the 19th Century and was host to the first winter Olympics in 1924. Set at the foot of Europe's highest mountain, Mont Blanc makes an impressive back-drop for the many winter and summer activities available in the Chamonix Valley

The Chamonix / Les Houches area

The town of Chamonix Mont Blanc is 1042m (3,396 ft) above sea level at the foot of Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe at 4807m (15,770 ft).

Chamonix is at the heart of the French Alps, adjacent to Mont Dolent where the French, Swiss and Italian borders meet.

It has become the World’s centre of gravity for outdoor extreme activities including ski-touring, mountaineering, climbing, hiking, biking and paragliding and is only minutes from Les Houches by the ski bus which stops immediately outside the 'Le Kandahar' apartment block.

The scenery is stunning and creates a fabulous location to relax, enjoy mountain walks and soak up french village life.

“Nice apartment in great location” Lovely apartment. Brilliant spot just opposite the ski lift. The town was a little quiet in the evening at this end of town. Good facilities.

“Affordable luxury and comfort opposite the lift!” The appartment could not be better suited for small groups and families. Literally opposite the ski lift and within walking distance to great shops and restaurants you will not want to stay anywhere else. Unfortunately, my father broke his ribs on the 2nd day but was more than happy staying in the appartment with the Wifi access, television and dvd player! Due to the proximity of the appartment to the slopes he was also able to meet us for lunch. The design is contemporary however, there is still a cosy feeling-just what you want after a hard day on the slopes! Everything we needed was supplied and the cleanliness was impeccable. We went to Chamonix on 3 separate occasions (mainly to go to the doctors for the broken ribs!) and found that the bus was extremely easy and quick with the bus stop again directly outside the front door and dropping us in the centre of Chamonix town. Planning on revisiting this year-perhaps with a car so we can explore the area further!

“Gorgeous Apartment in a fantastic location” We used the apartment for ski holidays 2 years running , its a fantastic place , well equiped , with secure undergroound parking and a lift to make moving your gear easier. The ski locker was very useful and being located so close to the ski lift made skiing back for lunch so easy. The kids loved it and it was great to sit on the balcony with a cold beer after a day skiing looking up at Mont Blanc.

“No access to the wardrobe space in the bedroom-disgusting, the wardrobe was locked so we couldnt use” Fair for the money, however we did feel slightly cheated as the wardrobes in the double room was locked, when i asked about this i was advised that there was hanging space in the living area- right next to the kitchen space. Not good when you have to go into the kitchen/living area for a change of clothes.(with the cleaning equipment in the same wardrobe space!). BE WARNED AS WELL THAT THE WASHER IS ALSO LOCKED UP IN THE BATHROOM - and there is an added charge for this - which was £30. (advised as a small charge in the advert). We stayed for 2 weeks, The balcony was nice for the sun but right outside is the bus stop, so you are on view a bit. The view from the balcony of Aguile dumidi - is viewable if you lean over the balcony. You do get a view of the telecabin building and cable car going up and down - so if you like access to cable cars your in luck. ps- the telecabin is not part of the mont blanc range, and is privately owned- relevant if you buy multiday pass's in Chamonix. Our 2nd week we were supposed to have a change of bed linen and teatowels etc, we had to ring to enquire where they were- eventually a very nice lady came with them -clear communication between owner and cleaner would have been most useful i think and would have meant we didnt have to again waste valuable time chasing for a normal request.

“Top accommodation, great location” This was our first experience of a non-package ski holiday and can safely say we would be happy to do the same again next time and highly recommend this apartment. Prior to departure we received... more

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in your beautiful apartment. It was spotlessly clean and so well equipped. - Gail

We had a great trip, loved the apartment and its location and felt very much at home for 2 weeks; we did some great climbing and you have great views of from the balcony.
