The estate and its capacity

Both. Les Rives d'Argentière is in the hameau of Argentière, which is part of the commune of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc — the postal address is 74400 Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Argentière is not a separate resort: it is a village in the Chamonix valley, 8 km from the town centre and at the foot of the Grands Montets.

From 12 to 50 guests, depending on the configuration:

  • 12 guests — Chalet Granit or Chalet Ardoise
  • 13 guests — Chalet Cristal
  • 16 guests — Chalet Terre
  • 23 guests — Chalet Quartz (Granit and Cristal combined)
  • 50 guests — Le Hameau, all four chalets, 21 bedrooms and 1,050 m²

Every configuration is let exclusively: you never share the estate with anyone else.

Yes. The four chalets interconnect, linked by a shared garage, an outdoor alley and the terraces. You can combine Granit and Cristal (Chalet Quartz, 23 guests) or take the whole hamlet privately (50 guests). The group stays on one estate rather than being split across several addresses in the valley.

21 bedrooms when the whole hamlet is let, and 5 to 7 bedrooms per chalet taken individually.

The counts do not add up, and that is expected: the room linking Chalet Granit and Chalet Cristal serves as a bedroom when Granit is let alone, but opens into the shared space as soon as several chalets are combined. Chalet Cristal also has four true bedrooms plus a snug, counted as a fifth for individual lets.

The Grands Montets lifts are a few minutes' walk from the hamlet. Chamonix town centre is 8 km away, about 15 minutes by car. Geneva airport is 1 hour. A private driver with an 8-seat 4x4 minibus is available on request for transfers and daily shuttles to the slopes.
