Chalet-apartment with internet access near slopes; ideal for skiers and walkers

'Stunning location...quiet but close enough to everywhere else as/when you needed it...spotlessly clean and well-equipped - and the most wonderful of views'. These are comments from a renter who enjoyed his stay in our flat which is within walking distance of the ski-lifts and the best nursery and intermediate slopes in Chamonix.

Argentière which has some of the best piste and off-piste skiing in the world is 5 minutes down the road, although many find the Le Tour slopes all they need for a week. Argentière also has a number of good restaurants and shops. The whole area is teeming with activities, both in summer and winter; a walker's paradise, ideal for family holidays and for those who just want to relax in a calm and peaceful atmosphere.

May and June are great months to visit when the mountain flowers are appearing. Le Tour is also very well placed for visiting Switzerland (10 mins), Italy (30 mins), and Annecy and Geneva (1 hour). Lock-up garage and plenty of outside parking.


Le Tour has more sunshine than any other part of the valley. Summer activities in Chamonix include summer-tobogganing, canyoning, white-water rafting, ice-climbing, mountain biking, and adventure trails up in the trees; and sometimes you can't see the sky for the parachutists. Take the train to visit the inside of the glacier, or from Le Fayet to the nearest you can be transported to the summit of Mont Blanc. Chamonix is the European centre for mountaineering and has a very good climbing school. In the winter the skiing is famed world wide and the area has over 600 kms of pistes and 200 lifts. Argentière has some of the best off-piste skiing in Europe. Le Tour has excellent nursery slopes and good intermediate skiing for the whole family.

Another fantastic half-term in Le Tour
We didn't lack anything. The apartment is exactly as described and pretty much perfect for a family or two/three couples and the location just couldn't be better. Walking distance to Charamilion, very close to shops in Argentiere and Grand Montets, safe, quiet and away from hustle and bustle of the centre of Chamonix. Laura is a wonderful and very helpful host. We hope to keep on returning on regular basis!

We enjoyed our stay. The property is relatively well maintained, the main bathroom needs some renovation and removal of mold. We were surprised by the fact that we had to pay for renting bed linen and bath towels. These are usually provided with the accommodation. The bedrooms are on the small side, so this property is ideal for one couple, or for a family with young children.

very comfortable apartment
We recently had a very comfortable stay in this apartment. John Hart, the owner, is very genuine and lovely. Aude, who looks after your stay in France was also very lovely and helpful. The log burner is a real treat after a day in the snow; although I recommend only one log at a time as I have never seen such an efficient burner. Beds are really comfortable. The kitchen and apartment are very well equipped – although I could never work out how to use the microwave – either as a microwave or an oven. The instructions are all in French which to my shame left me stumped – so oven hob was the way for me! The internet speed is very good also. The apartment, as John points out in his pre stay e-mails, is also their family home, and certainly we felt the benefit of being in a home, and not just a rental apartment, with comfortable and cosy chairs to snug into when watching an evening DVD with the fire. The use of the garage is a bonus. Especially not having to clear snow off the car. Only word of caution – if you are over 5’8, watch out for the casing above the top of the stairs. I would certainly love to stay again. I also suspect that summer must be wonderful, with the balcony looking towards Mont Blanc and the garden. Even in February – on a sunny day – the balcony was wonderful to sit on.

Very positive experience
I stayed in this chalet-apartment for one week at the height of the season in February. Everything was very positive, with no surprises. Location was good, in Le Tour, a ten-minute walk from the Col de Balme Ski-lift, and a short bus-ride to Grands Montets. I was there with my family for the skiing and all went according to plan. Very positive experience overall, and I would recommend to anyone considering a break there.

Lovely week
Another great weeks stay in Le Tour. We always come to the Chamonix area in the summer for some hiking. A little less busy in Le Tour which is great and Argentiere is just a short trip away. The bus passes are great and get you all the way to Chamonix in no time. The apartment was fantastic with great views down the valley. Thank you very much. Mark Snodgrass

Appartement particulièrement agréable
L'appartement est très bien aménagé, tout y est. On se sent immédiatement comme chez soi. L'atmosphère transmise par la famille des propriétaires est vraiment très chaleureuse, décoration, photos, petits objets, que des choses qui font qu'on se sent bien. Le garage est très utile pour entreposer les skis et d'autres choses, il sert aussi de cave pour conserver des fruits par exemple. La bouteille de vin sur la table est une charmante attention d'accueil. L'appartement est au sein du charmant village de Le Tour, qu'il faut découvrir à pied avec ses vieilles bâtisses, petits ruelles pleines de charme. La station de ski est très proche, quelques minutes à pied. Vacances idéales. Merci.

Séjour très agréable dans un appartement fonctionnel, facile à vivre et très calme.
L'appartement/chalet est très bien situé, au calme, avec une jolie vue sur les Aiguilles Rouges. L'agencement en est très bien conçu : le séjour au rez de chaussée s'avère chaleureux et très fonctionnel, le coin cuisine regroupant toutes les fonctionnalités de manière très astucieuse et pratique. La literie est nickel. Il y a par ailleurs de l'espace de rangement sous l'escalier bien utile et des toilettes aux deux niveaux. La buanderie est un plus car les laveries automatiques sont sur Argentière. Bref on se sent très à l'aise et chaudement accueilli: le propriétaire a beaucoup soigné la personnalité de son appartement et c'est très agréable. Le calme du Tour est très appréciable : on entend les clarines des vaches dans les prés dans le lointain le matin... Les sentiers sont au pied du chalet. On peut oublier la voiture dans son box. Le seul bémol (qui ne nous concernait pas, puisque nous étions au plus 5) serait le premier étage dans lequel il ne faut pas être trop grand (parfait pour 5 adultes de taille normale+ un enfant/ado), mais ce n'est pas trop pénalisant car le séjour et le vrai balcon sont des lieux de convivialité avec de l'espace et très réussis.

appartement agréable, belle vue et proche des pistes du Tour
L'appartement est très bien équipé et fonctionnel, idéal à 5 (6 un peu moins facile autour de la table). L'appartement a une très belle vue sur les aiguilles rouges. Le hameau du tour est très joli, en haut de vallée,. C'est là qu'il y a le plus de neige fin février. Les télécabines du Tour sont à 400 m à pied. En revanche c'est assez loin de Chamonix centre (35 mn en bus). Les courses les plus proches sont à Argentière à 5mn en bus.

Seul défaut : pas de commerce accessible à pieds. L’appartement est très agréable à vivre et bien équipé. Seul petit point d’attention: les 2 chambres du haut sont très mansardées, donc plus adaptées à des enfants. Le gérant Mr Hart est charmant et il parle bien Français.

L'appartement de M. Hart est parfait. Il est très confortable, très bien équipé, et superbement décoré. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les deux salles de bain, la terrasse, le garage. On trouve tout sur place, produits d'entretien, base d'épicerie. Le village du Tour est très bien situé, en haut de la vallée de Chamonix, avec des vues superbes sur le Mont Blanc et sur le glacier du Tour. Les pistes sont familiales, assez faciles tout en offrant une grande diversité et des possibilités très larges. Le système de bus très fréquent permet de joindre tous les autres sites de la vallée très rapidement et gratuitement : les pistes des Grands Montets, de Chamonix, des Houches, etc.
