Skiing areas

Being high and north oriented this area has the guaranteed snow for the longest time in the Chamonix valley. Immense freeriding potential! In winter it gets sun only at mid day -- do not forget warm clothing. No need to use any transport -- it is close even for skiers walking in ski boots.

Food scene

Outstanding bakery with couple of cosy tables to eat inside. Open every day 6:00-19:00 in summer and 6:30-19:30 in winter. A must if you need a fresh croissant for an early start for your adventure.

A modern looking bakery and cafe just next door to the apartment. The best croissants in the valley. Warning -- closed on Mondays.
