We had the pleasure of renting Les Rives for a week to host our wedding celebration and we couldn’t recommend it more highly! We were joined by 40 of our closest friends & family for a week of connection, adventure, and relaxation in one of the most thoughtfully designed & well-equipped venues we've ever experienced.||Our goal was to create a memorable week filled with trail running, hiking, shared meals, and time with loved ones, and Les Rives was the perfect place to make that happen. From the start, Marc & Melinda, who manage the property, were incredibly proactive and responsive. Their communication was always clear, thoughtful, and timely, which made the entire process feel seamless.||A few months before our wedding, we visited the property and Marc went above & beyond to welcome us. Despite it being a busy time, he made space to give us a full tour and even offered us a ride back to Chamonix. This kind of generosity set the tone for everything that followed.||Leading up to and during the wedding week, Marc, Melinda, Jonas, and their team were deeply supportive partners. They helped us think through every detail, from local recommendations to how to use indoor and outdoor spaces. Their attention to the little things allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration.||The chalet is spectacular! Every guest was impressed by how beautifully decorated the chalets were. The interiors are cozy yet modern, and every shared space is designed for easy gathering and comfort. The views from every window are breathtaking, showcasing the mountains and making the week feel magical. Each house was stocked with kitchenware, washing machines, and everything needed to feel at home. The staff provided daily cleaning, which was a huge gift and let us focus on our guests.||The in-house chef was phenomenal! Every 3-course dinner was delicious - our guests raved about the food. The chef was also very accommodating of dietary restrictions, ensuring that vegetarians were just as excited about each meal.||The amenities elevated the experience even further: the sauna, hot tubs, and pool were huge hits, perfect for relaxing after hikes or unwinding at the end of the day. The cinema room was another favorite. During the week, it served as a cozy spot to watch movies, and on our wedding night, we transformed it into a full-on nightclub!||Location-wise, the chalet is ideal. Everything is within walking distance: bus and train stations, a supermarket, our favorite bakery (L'al'pain), and several trailheads. We loved being able to step into nature right from the front door.||Most importantly, we always felt supported. Marc, Melinda, and Jonas were incredibly accessible throughout the week. Whether it was a last-minute request or coordination with our wedding planner, they were always available and ready to help. That level of support made all the difference!||We absolutely loved everything about Les Rives! It gave us the space, comfort, and beautiful setting to bring our vision of a weeklong wedding celebration to life. If you're looking for a place to host an event - or even just a luxurious, cozy base for a large group - this chalet should be at the top of your list. We’re already dreaming of coming back...

Read moreWe (three families - 15 peeps in total) have just returned from the most magical week in Argentière. I cannot really express how wonderful this holiday was. Let’s start with the accommodation and facilities - we wanted for nothing and got things we didn’t even know we wanted! Chalet itself is beautiful and the view is stunning. The hot tub was fab as was the steam room, sauna, cinema room dedicated boot room. Drinks fridge always fully stocked and wonderful wines each evening - never wanted for anything. Plus endless soft drinks and juices for kids. Always mountains of food at breakfast and the four course dinners broke us every night but we loved them all. Definitely didn’t ski enough to burn off all the wonderful food and drink. But all the above, as top notch as it was, the thing that stands out and makes the experience so special are the people. Martin, the GM, is the king of first class service. Nothing was a problem, even picking up kids from ski school and bringing them to the ski field the rest of us were on so we didn’t even need to break up the day. So helpful and thoughtful. Little touches like having drinks and snacks in the vans and in the boot room so you had snacks for the slopes and water bottles each day. He really does run a fabulous place and has around him a top class team- thanks to Andrew and Jacob who also drove us around. And last but definitely not least our fabulous chalet host Valentina - we all wanted to take her home with us. She was such a joy to have around and she did everything! And I mean everything! She was such a lovely presence in the chalet and everybody loved her. A big thanks to the unseen holiday hero’s as well, the chef, the house keepers-||Love your work!...
