How to get there
The Chamonix valley sits at the foot of Mont Blanc in the heart of the French Alps, displaying glaciers and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains all around. Chamonix valley is ranked one of the top skiing and boarding resorts in the world and while Chamonix is famous for skiing in the winter, you may be surprised to hear that the summer time is just as popular - walking, hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, water rafting, mountain bike trails, even an 18 hole golf course! Not to mention major sports events such as the Mont Blanc Marathon and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.
Getting around
The accommodation is only 300m from the pedestrian high street where you can choose from all the restaurants and bars that Chamonix has to offer, while the nearest large supermarkets are a short 5-10 minutes away on foot. You can catch the bus from the main stops at Chamonix Centre or Place du Mont Blanc (500m away), for access throughout the valley for skiing and summer activities. The Parc Couttet is also home to the popular and prestigious Maison des Artistes / Jazz Club, and just down the road from Chamonix's main train station.
