Where to stay in the Chamonix Valley
Chamonix is made up of several neighbourhoods and villages spread along the valley, so 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 plus there are some ski-in/ski-out chalets and apartments around the lower slopes.
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.

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 you are looking for ski accommodation close to the slopes and lifts, reducing the need for transfers or carrying ski equipment long distances, the chalets and apartments next to the lifts in Argentière towards the end of the Chamonix Valley is a better option.
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.
Choose the right Chamonix accommodation
Chamonix apartments
Apartments are a practical choice for couples, small families and groups looking for self-catering accommodation. Choose from compact studios through to larger multi-bedroom apartments.
Chamonix chalets
Chalet-style accommodation provides additional space and can be particularly suitable for families or larger groups travelling together.
Family accommodation
Chamonix is a popular family ski destination, with beginner slopes at each of the ski areas within the Chamonix Valley plus a beginner slope in the centre of the resort that has facilities for children. A self-catering apartment or chalet gives families more space and flexibility during their stay.
Accommodation for groups
Larger apartments and chalet-style properties can be ideal for groups of friends or extended families. Compare sleeping capacity and bedroom numbers when choosing your property.
Luxury accommodation
For a more luxurious stay, look for newer chalet-style residences offering facilities such as spas, swimming pools, saunas and concierge services where available.
