How to get there
The Chamonix valley sits at the foot of Mont Blanc in the heart of the French Alps, displaying glaciers and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains all around. Chamonix valley is ranked one of the top skiing and boarding resorts in the world and while Chamonix is famous for skiing in the winter, you may be surprised to hear that the summer time is just as popular - walking, hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, water rafting, mountain bike trails, even an 18 hole golf course! Not to mention major sports events such as the Mont Blanc Marathon and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.
Getting around
Le Brevent Apartment is in an excellent location as it is just opposite the Planpraz cable car which takes you up to the Brevent ski area, so you can be first on the lift and get fresh tracks. This apartment is at the top of the hill which leads to the cable car, and so also boasts majestic views of Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi. There is a bus stop on the other side of the road for access to the town centre, or Chamonix Centre bus stop at the bottom of the hill for buses throughout the valley. The tourist office and heart of the town centre are just 5 minutes' walk down the hill (5-10 mins on the way back up!), for shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars.
