I stayed at the chalet the first week of Feb in a group of 8 friends and it was an absolutely perfect week. Our whole experience of booking was smooth and Gary and the team at Valley Fever were super communicative and helpful throughout the whole process. We're already planning on going back next year! ||||Things to know:||||The food:||The food is delicious and plentiful - from eggs and bacon, pastries and cereal in the morning, to the cake in the afternoon, to the 3 course-meals and canapes in the evenings. I've never been so well fed before!||||The skiing:||Some of us were at ski school in Le Tour so the location is perfect. It ended up being a favourite location even for the more experienced skiers amongst us. Grands Montets is also literally across the road and the transfers meant we made it to some of the other resorts as well. Don't miss taking a day to Courmayeur if you have the MBU pass - it's a beautiful resort and lunch on the slopes is to die for.||||If you need lessons, book with Evolution 2 (the recommended company by Valley Fever). Our instructor was fantastic: patient, clear, supportive and fun and she really made our experience.||||The chalet:||The chalet is cozy and comfortable and the view from the porch and the hot tub for sunset is just incredible. We spent most afternoons in the hot tub and then nights lazing around on the sofas playing trivial pursuit after dinner (warning: it's from about 2004 so not great for millenials!) with the fire on and it was pretty great. Our hosts were lovely and attentive and full of great recommendations about skiing, food and more.||||Note: Argentiere is much quieter and smaller than Chamonix so if you're looking for a thriving apres-ski scene this might not be the...
Read moreStayed here over the new year for a few nights with our 2 children (4 and 7). Gary from Valley Fever was great, very helpful and we managed to book the break Thursday morning and arrived the following morning. Well organised and friendly. ||||The chalet hosts, Simon and Amy, were lovely. Great hosts and great food. Breakfast was a choice of pastries, cereals, eggs and bacon, yoghurt etc. Afternoon tea with freshly baked cake. 3 course evening meal with canapes. The food was absolutely delicious. ||||The chalet is well-situated in the heart of Argentiere - its 30 seconds to the main street. There are mini buses arranged by Valley Fever to take you to any slopes you want to go. They can also arrange day trips to nearby resorts - Verbier and Courmayeur, which gives you variety if the snow is not great in Chamonix (it wasn't good while we were there)||||The chalet is pleasant and clean. The rooms are quite small but if you are organised it is fine. Also the bathroom was small, only one person in at a time, but modern and clean.||||We all had a great time and met some lovely people...
Read moreHad a fantastic week in Argentiere in this brilliantly located chalet. Walkable to Grand Montets and the bus stop is at the end of the drive so only a few minutes on the bus to La Tour and as booked through the wonderful Valley Fever - they also put on door to door shuttles to all the domains in the area. Can't fault the wider Valley Fever team and especially the chalet hosts - they created a brilliant vibe, made amazing cakes for post ski and the evening catering was top class. Lovely to chill in the hot tub on the balcony after a day's skiing and the chalet has a lovely relaxed, homely feel to it. Easy to get into Cham on either the train (station opposite the bus stop at the end of the drive) or by the ski bus if you want the bustle of town but Argentiere itself is lovely with all the amenities you need - a supermarket, restaurants and a few bars for apres. Really enjoyed my stay and can't...
