My boyfriend and I came here for a relaxing summer getaway, and after a week, felt like we’d been away for a month!
We flew to Geneva and picked up a car from the airport and were thrilled at how easy it was to get there – from the airport Chamonix was sign posted and it was all motorways until the very end. The owner’s directions from Chamonix were crystal clear, and we arrived in just over an hour. Parking in La Tour was easy and free, and we always easily found free parking in Argentiere and Chamonix.
The apartment was fully equipped, even down to a fondue set, and very comfortable. There wasn’t anything that we needed that wasn’t already there.
La Tour was wonderfully quiet both day and night, we had a couple of days chilling in the apartment, drinking a glass of wine or two on the balcony, and although there are neighbours, we didn’t hear them and it felt very private.
There were a number of walks of varying difficulty and length that could be started directly from La Tour, all were well signposted, and the leaflets in the apartment showed us where to start from. The benefit of being so close to the walks was that you could do a walk in the morning and come back to avoid the hottest part of the day before heading out again in the cooler evening.
Overall, we loved our stay, and would love to come back again in the winter to snuggle in and stoke up the wood burner!
