Résidence Barrats B is situated away from the main roads in quiet surroundings on Chemin de la Larze, to the south-west of Chamonix town centre. It is 750 metres from the main shopping street, Rue Docteur Paccard (10 minutes by foot) and a five minutes' walk to the Place Balmat, the town square, but many amenities are in the immediate vicinity. The nearest supermarket (main season only) is in the square in Chamonix Sud (500 metres away). There are several bars within a short walk, including the Jekyll, Munster and Monkey with restaurants including the Jekyll again, l'Impossible and several along Avenue de l'Aiguille du Midi.
For access to the slopes, the apartment is conveniently located 200 metres from the main bus stop. The nearest ski area is Brévent, 2 minutes by bus. Barrats is also no more than 3 minutes' walk to the Aiguille du Midi cable car, giving access to the infamous Vallée Blanche.
Chamonix has one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Alps, surrounded as it is by famous peaks such as the Aiguille du Midi, les Drus, la Verte and of course, Mont Blanc itself. The 18 hole Trent Jones Senior course is only 5 minutes drive from the centre of town, just outside the village of Les Praz, and is open from May until November. There are several other courses in close proximity to Chamonix, which makes it an excellent place to arrange a golf tour with a difference, including Evian, Bossey, Esery, Megeve, les Gets and Annecy.
The apartment is fully equipped with Wifi Internet Access, flat screen TV with Sky (Freeview), CD player, washing machine and dishwasher. There is private external parking and a large ski/bike cellar on the lower ground floor. It would suit up to 6 people looking to stay close to the town centre yet in more peaceful surroundings.

Chamonix is a truly amazing place. Situated at the foot of the spectacular Mont Blanc massif, it is an elegant mountain town steeped in centuries of alpine tradition. The town draws people from all over the world – both the holiday-maker and those looking for adventure, whether walkers, mountain bikers, paragliders or mountaineers.
The town centre is a vibrant place full of bustling restaurants and bars. Sitting outside one of the many pavement cafés is a great way of taking in the atmosphere of the cobbled streets whilst admiring the stunning mountain backdrop. A wide range of shops offers everything from traditional regional fayre and souvenirs to stylish fashion and technical mountain equipment.
The Saturday market is well worth a visit for the locally made produce brought in from all over the Haute-Savoie region.
The Chamonix valley is an area of outstanding natural beauty and spread along the valley floor are a series of villages all with their own charm and character …
Mont Blanc, ‘the Giant of the Alps’, has always held a magnetic power of attraction. Chintalaya is just minutes walking distance to the Aiguille du Midi cable car, the highest cable car ascent in Europe.
The ride takes you up to the rooftops of Europe and to one of the most popular panoramic viewpoints in the world. Accomplished mountaineers, high-altitude climbers and experienced skiers practise side by side with paragliders whilst tourists marvel at the breathtaking scenery. ‘La Mer de Glace’ (the Sea of Ice) is the largest glacier in France and can be approached in several ways: from the comfort of the panoramic terrace; by visiting the ice grotto, skilfully carved anew each year; or more athletically, skiing down the famous Vallee Blanche (White Valley) or by hiking through the seracs.There are a number of day trips around the Haute-Savoie region:The beautiful town of Annecy, lying on the rippling shores of the Lac d’Annecy, where water and mountains blend admirably together.

Great location, views and value
We have been to Chamonix a number of times and this apartment comes out tops! It is not even 10 minutes to the town centre on foot and you pass the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi on the way! The bus stops almost at the door, making getting around super easy. Even though you are so close to town, the apartment still has a Chalet feel. The views are superb and we definately followed the sun using the three (yes 3!) balconies. Can't wait to go again next yaer.
