Ideally situated along picturesque Domaine de Chantey Moury, with the local cafes, excellent restaurants and exceptional winter sport facilities of central Argentière only a ten-minute walk or a two-minute drive away, Chalet Helene is the ideal place to experience the magic of the French Alps. The village of Argentière provides a scenic gateway to the fabulous ski area of Les Grands Montets, as well as a range of stunning hiking and biking trails. Boasting three distinctive zones and incredible vistas, the area of Les Grands Montets is known for its steep terrain and challenging off-piste skiing. However, there is also a gentler ski area for beginners available here too. Ski areas include the lower terrain around Argentière, the mountain stretching from Lognan to Borchard, as well as steeper alpine terrain that reaches up to 3,275m and includes the jaw-dropping Argentière Glacier.

Offering experienced visitors extensive, winding runs and steep, dramatic drops, the Chamonix resort also provides novice and intermediate skiers with fantastic training slopes. Home to the Kandahar World Cup skiing event, Les Houches is great for beginners, with a welcoming upper plateau that also provides mountain bikers and hikers with rewarding views during warmer months. Meanwhile, cable car rides offer breathtaking ascents to sublime summits, where you can marvel at the peaks of Les Droites and L’Aiguille Verte. After another day of adventure in the fresh air, the Chamonix Valley offers a myriad of après-ski options for visitors to enjoy, ranging from cosy mountain inns to lively bars located in the heart of Argentière. For something a little different, indoor activities such as spa treatments and wine tastings in Chamonix make for indulgent and memorable evening experiences.

During warmer months, there are beautiful hiking routes to be explored, with the majestic sights of the Couloir du Grand Chantet and La Pierre a Bosson nearby, as well as the popular ascent to glacial Lac Blanc, which rewards hikers with mesmerising views of Mont Blanc. You can also spend a sunny morning hiking along the picture-perfect Petit Balcon Sud to reach Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in time for a well-earned lunch of raclette and a glass of wine. Golf enthusiasts will adore the Chamonix Golf Club, where breathtaking mountain views and pristine greens are sure to bring out the very best in your game! Meanwhile, adventure seekers can spend an adrenaline-fuelled afternoon at the local sky-diving centre.
