The chalet

View our photo gallery

The White Chalet is situated in a wonderful location. Directly opposite Chamonix valley’s most popular ski resort; the Grand Montets, the chalet has spectacular views of the ski pistes and the breathtaking Mont Blanc massif.

Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane (with plenty of parking space right outside) it offers a bit of peace and quiet from the hubub of the centre of Argentiere, which is only 2 mintues walk away.
Argentiere is a bustling little village with several shops, bars and restaurants. It sits at 1200m above sea level towards the top end of the Chamonix valley approximately 155m higher than the town of Chamonix. Argentiere is one of the highest resorts in the alps and since we moved here 10 years it has always had a good level of snow in the winter.

Our accommodation

The four storey chalet is large (350m²of living space) with seven bedrooms all with en-suite. It has a large lounge (with log fire), dining area, (which seats up to 18) large screen tv, separate internet room and outdoor hot tub for 6.

The chalet is in the perfect position, the accomodation is great, the skiing offers some of the best and most varied in the alps and the views are incredible. But what most people remember from their visit to our chalet is our delicious cuisine, which we have been preparing and serving (no seasonaires on a crash cooking course) for our guests for the last 10 years, and in which we take great pride.

To give you a good start to the day, we serve a hot breakfast (for example, eggs and bacon, scrambled egg and sausages, or pancakes). On your return to the chalet our afternoon tea of home made cakes (for example, scones with jam and cream, carrot cake, or banana and walnut cake) is something to look forward to when you get back at the end of a great day on the mountain. After afternoon tea there is just enough time to ease yourself into the hot tub before dinner at 7.30.

There is the option (at no extra charge) of an earlier dinner for children if required. Our 3 course dinners include large portions of delicious food, as much red wine as you like, scrumptious puddings and coffee/tea and chocolates to finish.

The chalet has 7 bedrooms all with en-suite and sleeps up to 15 people in twins/doubles. This large family room on the ground floor is available as a double and two singles or four singlesRoom 4 at the end of the first floor. The bedrooms are all spacious and five of them are south facing and look out on to the spectacular views of Mont Blanc, the Aiguille Verte and the Chardonnet.

The chalet has an out door hot tub with fantastic views. For the ‘big kids’ we have a table football and SonyPlaystation2. In the lounge there is a large selection of dvds/videos and just off the lounge there is an internet room with wi/fi and broadband.

Catered accommodation is available throughout the winter and bookings are usually taken on a weekly basis, Sunday to Sunday. On a catered week we serve a cooked breakfast every morning, home made afternoon tea every day and a 3 course evening meal six evenings of the week. All evening meals include wine, tea and coffee. During our Christmas week we have a special four course Christmas dinner and our New Year week includes a five course meal.

The chalet can also be booked on a self catered basis (except for the New Year week). On a self catered week you will have exclusive use of the chalet. We supply towels and bedding and a starter pack of kitchen and cleaning items. For further details please contact us
