The serious skier's corner of the Chamonix valley.
Argentière is a small village up the valley from Chamonix, and it sits at the foot of the Grands Montets, some of the best lift served steep terrain in the Alps. It is quieter and more focused than the main town, which suits people who are here to ski hard.
Know the mountain before you go.
The skiing
The Grands Montets is the draw, with long, demanding descents and huge off piste potential in the right hands. Beginners are better served elsewhere in the valley, so this is really a base for the confident.
The village and the evenings
The village is low key and friendly, with a handful of good places to eat and drink and none of the bustle of central Chamonix. It is a calm place to come home to after a big day.
Getting there
Geneva is only about an hour and twenty minutes away, and the valley train links Argentière with the rest of the Chamonix areas.
