We had a perfect stay at Les Rives d’Argentière, in the Terre chalet. Everything was impeccable, clean, superbly equipped, welcoming, and ideal for a family getaway. I celebrated my 25th birthday there, and it was simply magical. Thank you for this impeccable service; we will definitely be back.

We had a great time with our family. The Granit chalet was clean. We had a wonderful time and a breathtaking view of Mont Blanc! The person who welcomed us took very good care of us upon our arrival.

We had the pleasure of renting Les Rives for a week to host our wedding celebration and we couldn’t recommend it more highly! We were joined by 40 of our closest friends & family for a week of connection, adventure, and relaxation in one of the most thoughtfully designed & well-equipped venues we've ever experienced.Our goal was to create a memorable week filled with trail running, hiking, shared meals, and time with loved ones, and Les Rives was the perfect place to make that happen. From the start, Marc & Melinda, who manage the property, were incredibly proactive and responsive. Their communication was always clear, thoughtful, and timely, which made the entire process feel seamless.A few months before our wedding, we visited the property and Marc went above & beyond to welcome us. Despite it being a busy time, he made space to give us a full tour and even offered us a ride back to Chamonix. This kind of generosity set the tone for everything that followed.Leading up to and during the wedding week, Marc, Melinda, Jonas, and their team were deeply supportive partners. They helped us think through every detail, from local recommendations to how to use indoor and outdoor spaces. Their attention to the little things allowed us to truly relax and enjoy the celebration!The chalet is spectacular! Every guest was impressed by how beautifully decorated the chalets were. The interiors are cozy yet modern, and every shared space is designed for easy gathering and comfort. The views from every window are breathtaking, showcasing the mountains and making the week feel magical. Each house was stocked with kitchenware, washing machines, and everything needed to feel at home. The staff provided daily cleaning, which was a huge gift and let us focus on our guests.The in-house chef was phenomenal! Every 3-course dinner was delicious - our guests raved about the food. The chef was also very accommodating of dietary restrictions, ensuring that vegetarians were just as excited about each meal.The amenities elevated the experience even further: the sauna, hot tubs, and pool were huge hits, perfect for relaxing after hikes or unwinding at the end of the day. The cinema room was another favorite. During the week, it served as a cozy spot to watch movies, and on our wedding night, we transformed it into a full-on nightclub!Location-wise, the chalet is ideal. Everything is within walking distance: bus and train stations, a supermarket, our favorite bakery (L'al'pain), and several trailheads. We loved being able to step into nature right from the front door.Most importantly, we always felt supported. Marc, Melinda, and Jonas were incredibly accessible throughout the week. Whether it was a last-minute request or coordination with our wedding planner, they were always available and ready to help. That level of support made all the difference!We absolutely loved everything about Les Rives! It gave us the space, comfort, and beautiful setting to bring our vision of a weeklong wedding celebration to life. If you're looking for a place to host an event - or even just a luxurious, cozy base for a large group - this chalet should be at the top of your list. We’re already dreaming of coming back for a reunion!

Very nice chalet but once there we were told that the hammam was not working. First disappointment. Then, they explain to us that we have to pay 50 euros if we use the grill to clean it. Opening it a little later, we discover that it is very dirty. And finally, it took 2 days for the jacuzzi to heat up. The departure time was announced to us at 12 p.m. but at 11 a.m. the cleaning team was already entering the chalet, without even announcing themselves. These may be details but for the standard of the rental these are not things that should happen.

Lovely villas, although owner was a too pushy and forward by walking into chalet when still under rental agreement asking what time we were leaving the following day, rather than abiding by the rental timings as per the contract.

Absolutely top. We have spent 4 days in the chalet for our wedding in June 2018 (we rented 2 adjoining buildings). Facilities were absolutely flawless, service was fantastic (special thanks to Marta), location cannot be beaten for convenience to shops, transportation, lifts, but especially views. We will return and would recommend anyone to stay in this place. Thank you guys!
