Chalet Aïkoa is in the hamlet of Les Frasserands

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Les Frasserands, close to Argentiere and Le Tour, unknown to most until recently, is a quiet and beautiful small village at the top of the Chamonix valley, at just under 1400m of altitude. With a considerably more open mountain profile than lower down the valley near Chamonix town, the views are 360 and extraordinary, with sunshine even in the darkest days of winter from mid-morning to afternoon. Sitting very often above the clouds when they cumulate lower in the valley, this really is a sun-kissed hideaway. We have personally lived here for more than 20 years, and with Chalet AIKOA have built an eco-lodge with premium facilities, to share this stunning location with others. Summer or winter, this is a brilliant village to be based in to exploit the year-round adventure, pleasure and beauty of the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley and everything it has to offer.

By car just a few minutes from Le Tour ski lifts, five minutes to Argentiere and the renowned Grand Montets ski area (which you will gaze at from the chalet's lounge and balcony, and 10-15 minutes to Chamonix town and the other ski areas. Yet Chalet AIKOA is not on a through road that is used by anyone other than residents, so its peaceful, quiet and surrounded by nature and stunning views in all directions.

Lots of parking out front of the house, and additional free parking at the station 150m away. In winter when there is snow on the roads for much of the time, highly recommend snow/winter tyres, and as a minimum chains ready and practised!

Charging for electric cars is provided and included in your stay (within reason, we can measure it!), and on request Tesla fast-charging pod can be made available for you if needed.
