The best possible location for a family ski trip in Le Tour! Very convenient for getting to Vormine beginners area and also easy to access gondola for heading up the mountain.
Spacious home appropriate for large groups or family. All amenities are in good working order. Excellent location in Le Tour village's heart.

Le Tour Chalet-beautiful!
End March 2011-Having just come back from Le Tour and having stayed in Chalet Silva was a wonderful experience. The chalet has all you need 'home away from home' and much more. Well kept, in good condition it was great to stay in. Good for mulitple families with children or teens. Went late in the season so snow not very good, expecially the second week i,e, early April. Chamonix a 20 min bus ride away is a wonderful little village with loads to do. Generally between Le Tour, Argentine and Chamonix there is something for everyone!
Le Tour and Chalet Silva must rate as the hidden gems of the Chamonix Valley. The chalet is very family friendly and newly fitted out. It was the perfect set up for long relaxed evening meals and chats round the fire in the large living area. The location, right at the foot of the slopes, couldn't be more convenient for both nursery and main slopes of Le Tour, and note these are the most accessible slopes in what is at times a challenging valley. The shops, eateries and nightlife of Argentiere are a short hop away. I am coming out in the summer too, the lift up here serves mountain bikes I hear!

Family fun and perfect location
Brilliant for multi family skiing and Summer breaks as it has open and wide social space for dinning and fun by the fire It is also has skiing to the door from the children's slopes which makes the family logistics so much easier.
Even more amazing in the Summer with the lift around the corner offering mountain bike assistance up to the top where you will see the most incredible views, great restaurants and find perfect picnics spaces. The mountain flowers and roaming cows (with their bells) are a sight to behold.
Very comfortable chalet with underground parking, real fire, balcony and sauna in a fabulous position close to La Tour lift station and L'Olympique - family run restaurant/ institution. Great for groups - I went with the boys but will come back en famille.
