An exceptional showcase of traditional Savoyard character and high-end alpine design, Chalet Ardoise is a premier freestanding residence located in the private hamlet of Les Rives d’Argentière in Chamonix, France. Spanning 200 square metres of carefully crafted living space, this 5-star property comfortably accommodates 10 to 13 guests. It serves as an ideal retreat for multi-generational families or close groups of friends seeking privacy, high-end hospitality, and immediate access to the famous Grands Montets ski domain.
The chalet enjoys an enviable, convenient location in the authentic village of Argentière, sitting just 500 metres (a 5-minute walk) from the primary Les Grands Montets ski lift. Its position provides effortless access to local shops, alpine bars, and restaurants, while central Chamonix sits just a 10-minute drive down the valley.
The interior styling delivers a warm feel of traditional mountain warmth, featuring exposed wooden beams, natural stone, and raw alpine materials. The social heart of the chalet is an open-plan lounge and dining arena under exposed timber rafters, anchored by a wood-burning stove and a fully equipped kitchen with a central island. Large glass doors open directly onto an expansive private terrace featuring a hot tub and uninterrupted views across to Mont-Blanc.
The sleeping quarters are thoughtfully arranged across five double en-suite bedrooms, each fitted with its own private bathroom and flat-screen television. Adding extra versatility for families, a double alcove bed is tucked into the mezzanine area. Beyond its private quarters, guests benefit from shared access to the extensive wellness and leisure facilities of Les Rives d’Argentière hamlet, including a spa zone with a sauna, hammam, and massage treatment room, a private cinema room, a fitness gym, a conference suite, and an outdoor heated swimming pool in summer.
Offered as a luxury rental by Les Rives d’Argentière, stays can be fully customised with bespoke hospitality services. Inclusions feature dedicated concierge planning, daily housekeeping, a ski room with heated boot dryers, secure underground garage parking for three vehicles, and high-speed Wi-Fi. Tailored catering, wine cellar access, and a dedicated 4x4 resort driver shuttle service between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. can also be seamlessly arranged.
This is the perfect property to lounge away the days with a close group of family or friends. Highly family friendly, the combination of a private outdoor hot tub, shared hamlet cinema, summer pool, and a short 5-minute walk to the slopes makes it an absolute paradise for children and teenagers alike. It stands out as an exceptional choice for a luxury freestanding chalet, delivering an unforgettable holiday in the Chamonix Valley.
