Chalet Cristal, Chamonix

Description

A tranquil haven nestled on the banks of the river Arve, Chalet Cristal is located right in the heart of the picturesque village of Argentière yet close to Chamonix’s vibrant shops, bars and restaurants.

The chalet’s contemporary interior is monochrome and minimalist – a sleek combination of snow-white walls and granite features, providing a stunning contrast to the traditional Alpine exterior. Step outside onto the private terrace to take in the spectacular views towards the legendary Mont Blanc. Or why not enjoy a glass of Champagne whilst relaxing in the sunken hot tub – pure indulgence.

A holiday at Chalet Cristal is just like staying in a boutique hotel – with luxury linen, towels and complimentary luxury bath toiletries – yet perfectly private. And with access to the hamlet’s own mini-cinema, sauna, Hammam, fitness area and games room, there’s something for everyone at this luxury ski chalet in Chamonix.

Chamonix is a buzzing town all year round, and Chalet Cristal is ideal for a summer chalet rental in the Alps. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, it also has a shared outdoor swimming pool to enjoy (for summer use only).
