Where to stay in the Chamonix Valley
Chamonix is not the only resort in the Chamonix Valley. There are several neighbourhoods and villages spread along the valley starting at the entrance at Les Houches right the way up to Le Tour at the top of the valley. Choosing the right location can make a big difference to your holiday.
Chamonix town centre
Staying in central Chamonix puts you close to shops, restaurants, bars and local amenities. It is a convenient choice if you want to enjoy the resort without relying heavily on a car.
Les Praz
Les Praz is a popular area just outside the centre of Chamonix. It offers a quieter setting while remaining close to the town and provides convenient access to the Flégère ski area.
Les Houches
At the western end of the valley, Les Houches offers a more traditional mountain-village atmosphere and its own ski area. It can be particularly appealing to families and skiers looking for a quieter base. There are also some ski-in/ski-out chalets and apartments around the lower slopes but subject to adequate snow cover.
Argentière
Argentière lies further up the Chamonix Valley and is a popular base for accessing the Grands Montets area. It has its own selection of restaurants, bars and shops and offers a different atmosphere from central Chamonix.
Le Tour / Montroc
Le Tour sits at the top of the Chamonix Valley and is a popular base for skiers wanting long cruising blue and red pistes going through the forests. There is not much in the way of amenities with just a couple of bars and shops but is ideal if you want to be close to the slopes and are looking for a quieter ski holiday experience.

Ski-in/ski-out accommodation in Chamonix
Chamonix does not boast many ski-in/ski-out properties, as not many pistes run directly into the resort. If ski access is a priority, Argentière and Les Houches offer some accommodation close to the lifts and pistes, although true ski-in/ski-out properties are relatively limited in the Chamonix Valley.
When searching for a Chamonix chalet or apartment, check the individual property details for its exact location and access to the pistes. Ski-in/ski-out accommodation can be especially convenient for families, beginners and groups who want to maximise their time skiing.
