Studio de Balme

Location
The studio is in the village of Montroc, close to the popular resort of Argentière, near the ski lifts, shuttle buses and pistes. For beginners, the slopes at La Vormaine are just a 3 minute drive. For more experienced skiers, the Tour Col de Balme slopes are also close by. Some of the higher slopes around Argentière offer skiing later in the season, sometimes right up to early May.

During the summer the valley is packed with activities from hiking and mountain biking, to mountaineering, horse riding, white-water rafting, paragliding, tennis and golf.

Argentière (4 minutes drive) has many of the amenities that visitors need, including restaurants and a supermarket. The weekly market, where you can find the very best local ingredients, takes place every Sunday morning.

All the facilities of the region are on your doorstep. There are free train services on the Mont Blanc Express from Montroc le Planet station (4 minute walk), so visitors can explore the whole Mont Blanc Valley.

Geneva airport is a 1 hour 20 minute drive from the house.

Please note that the pool is open from the 15th of June 2025 to the 15th of September 2025

Not to be missed in Argentière:

- Grands Montets: An exceptional belvedere over the Argentière glacier, dominated by the Drus, and overlooking the Aiguilles Rouges and Mont Blanc ranges.

Located between 1235 and 2800 meters above sea level, the Grands Montets ski area allows you to ski the biggest drops in the world in the heart of the high mountains, near the glaciers.

Summer like Winter, do not miss this exceptional site!
