About this chalet rental

Le Refuge is a traditional, alpine style chalet that has been newly decorated and furnished, combining the wonderful wooden features with a stylish, contemporary design, resulting in a lovely and very comfortable chalet.

The ground floor comprises an open plan sitting room and dining room, separated by a modern, wood burning fire. The dining table seats 10 and there is a fully equipped kitchen as well as a small study. The spacious playroom can also be used as a double bedroom and there is a separate shower room and wc.

The first floor has a double bedroom with ensuite shower and a second double bedroom (can also be made up as twin beds), both rooms opening on to the south-facing balcony with wonderful views over L'Aiguille du Midi and Mont Blanc. There is a further single bedroom, family bathroom (bath and shower) and separate wc.

A wooden staircase/ladder leads to the second floor and a spacious, open plan loft with 6 mattresses under the eaves. Our children love this! The chalet comfortably sleeps 7 on the ground and first floor bedrooms and there are the additional mattresses in the loft. Please note an additional guest charge will be added to parties of over 8 people. This charge will appear in the price breakdown details.

The kitchen, dining room, sitting room and playroom all enjoy doors opening on to the south facing garden that surrounds the chalet and there is wooden decking on the south and east facing sections of the garden. The garden borders the 'ski du fond' and has lots of space for sledging and playing in the snow. This really is a wonderfully peaceful and beautiful spot.

There is easy access to the Grand Montets telepherique either via a short walk. Alternatively, the chalet is approximately 100m from the bus stop and the regular ski bus service up and down the valley to the various ski areas (Grand Montets, Le Tour, Flegere, Brevent, Les Houches). It is also easy to drive through the Mont Blanc tunnel to spend a day skiing in Courmayeur. There is parking for 2-3 cars within the garden.

The pretty village of Argentiere is a 10 minute walk or short drive and offers a selection of restaurants, bars, shops (including a supermarket and two bakers).

I can't recall how many times we have stayed at the chalet now, but once again our stay was absolutely amazing. The chalet is beautiful and spotlessly clean. Everything is on hand to cook for the whole group and now there's the extra bonus of a lovely bakery at the end of the drive!! Already booking to go back to our home in France (we wish!!)

Had a great time at Le Refuge. Did not ski Grands Montets as often as expected, but still loved this quiet spot. Yes, you can ski home from Grands Montets. The hot tub is great, as is the bakery next door, Mont Choux. Comfy beds, everything you need. Will be back.

I would highly recommend this chalet if you are looking for somewhere for 2 or 3 families. We stayed there with 3 families of mainly teenage children and the facilities in the chalet were more than ample. The Norwegian Bain was so good even in the cold weather. There was great communication from the host throughout our stay, nothing was too much for them. The chalet is in an excellent location for the Grand Montets and Le Tour ski areas. One little tip we have to pass on is if you have older children you must visit FUBAR in Argentiere. It’s a bar but they allow younger people in and have table tennis, pool, darts and a rodeo bull to keep them amused. If we ever go back to Chamonix as a large group we would definitely try to book this chalet again. Thank you for having us :)

Perfect....again!

Another brilliant trip to the La Refuge. As usual everything was available for a perfect stay. I'm running out of positive things to say! Ideal spot to walk to Chosalet for the nursery slopes (and a beer), drive up to GM for steep and north faced slopes, a few steps from the bus stop to the other mountains and I've now found out you can run the track next to the ski du fond to Le Lavancher to the right (up a big hill!!) and up the side of the Pierre a ric home run to the left. Already planning our next trip.

A great chalet for a group of friends. Maggie was an excellent host, answering all of our many questions promptly and fully. She was very helpful and the chalet had everything needed for a ski holiday for our large group including sledges which the children loved making use of after a day on the slopes. Thankyou Maggie!
