Ideally situated only three hundred metres away from Les Grands Montets ski lift, Chalet Patrice is a contemporary apartment in a serene woodland setting near the village of Argentière. With a range of shops, restaurants and winter sports amenities within easy reach, as well as the lively town of Chamonix only a fifteen-minute drive away, this well-appointed chalet apartment offers three bedrooms and a sunny balcony with spectacular mountain views for up to six guests.
Each morning, bright blue skies and the gentle mountain breeze will draw you outside to the apartment’s spacious balcony, where you can marvel at the majestic views of Mont Blanc as you sip a cup of coffee. The balcony features sun loungers and simple outdoor furniture, while guests at Chalet Patrice also have access to a shared swimming pool during the summer season, making this the perfect place for a relaxing apline retreat at any time of year.
Boasting a contemporary take on a traditional ski lodge, the apartment features a welcoming open-plan living space with comfortable sofas and a flatscreen TV, providing guests with the ideal spot in which to curl up with a good book and a glass of wine after an invigorating afternoon on the slopes of Les Grands Montets. The bright and airy lounge flows seamlessly into a relaxed dining area with a laidback ambience, where everyone can gather together to enjoy a delicious dinner and discuss the day’s adventures. Meanwhile, a modern kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you might need to prepare a hearty meal.
Chalet Patrice offers two delightful double bedrooms with understated furnishings. A third bedroom features comfortable bunk beds, ideal for younger visitors, while one of the sofas in the main living space can also be converted into a sofa bed for one additional adult. The apartment offers three bathrooms in total, two of which are fitted with walk-in showers.

Chalet Patrice is ideally situated to allow guests to make the most of the exceptional resort amenities of Argentière. Less than a fifteen-minute drive away from the lively town of Chamonix, the village is located at the foot of Les Grands Montets, a world-famous ski area with incredible slopes and scenery. Argentière also offers visitors a range of stunning hiking and biking trails during the summer season, while golf enthusiasts will adore Chamonix Golf Club, where the pristine greens and breathtaking mountain views are sure to bring out the very best in your game! For something a little different, adventure seekers can spend an adrenaline-fuelled afternoon at the local sky-diving centre.
With three distinctive zones and incredible vistas, the area of Les Grands Montets is known amongst lovers of winter sports for its steep terrain and challenging off-piste skiing. However, there is also a gentler ski area for beginners available here too. Ski areas include the lower terrain around Argentière, the mountain stretching from Lognan to Borchard, as well as steeper alpine terrain that reaches up to 3,275m and includes the jaw-dropping Argentière glacier.
While the winding runs and steep, dramatic drops of Les Grands Montets are best suited to more experienced visitors, the Chamonix resort also provides novice and intermediate skiers with fantastic training slopes. Home to the Kandahar World Cup skiing event, Les Houches is great for beginners, with a welcoming upper plateau that also provides mountain bikers and hikers with rewarding views during warmer months. Meanwhile, cable car rides offer breathtaking ascents to sublime summits, where you can marvel at the peaks of Les Droites and L’Aiguille Verte.
In Argentière, there are beautiful hiking routes to be explored during the warmer months, with the majestic sights of the Couloir du Grand Chantet and La Pierre a Bosson nearby, as well as the popular ascent to glacial Lac Blanc, which rewards hikers with mesmerising views of Mont Blanc. You can also spend a sunny morning hiking along the picture-perfect Petit Balcon Sud to reach Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in time for a well-earned lunch of raclette and a glass of wine.
After another day of adventure in the fresh air, the Chamonix Valley offers a myriad of après-ski options for visitors to enjoy, ranging from cosy mountain inns to lively bars located in the heart of Argentière. Indoor activities such as spa treatments and wine tastings in Chamonix also make for indulgent and memorable evening experiences. Wholly deserving of its excellent reputation, the spectacular Chamonix Valley offers winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers a uniquely beautiful setting with abundant alpine charm.
