Arkle Location

Ski holidays are all about 'location, location, location', avoiding long walks with your ski boots or missing out on the unique Chamonix vibe, shops and Apres Ski.

Just 150m from the Savoy ski area, by Chamonix standards this is practically ski to the door and thus avoids carrying skis too far. The Savoy area at 'valley level' is ideal for beginners and children or even for some sledging and is where the children's ski school is located. The Savoy Button Lift also provides direct access to the 'Plan Praz' telecabin, that whisks you from near the valley floor at 1090m to circa 2000m in just a few minutes. This opens up access to the extensive Brevent and Flegere ski areas, ideal for beginners, intermediates, with great off piste and a few Black runs for the more ambitious.

To help you explore the other Ski areas of the Chamonix valley, on three days we provide a courtesy drop off and pick up service.

Chalet Arkle is located on Rue Joseph Vallot (a road named after the crazy Parisian Astronomer who built an observatory on Mont Blanc in 1890 at 4200m and even proposed the building of a tramway all the way to the top) is essentially the continuation of Chamonix's main street Rue du Doctor Picard, (named after one of the first men to climb Mont Blanc).

From Chalet Arkle, turn right and its just a 3 minute walk to the 'bollards' that mark the centre of Chamonix's traffic free centre.
