Le Tour is a small, traditional alpine village situated at 1450 metres at the far end of the Chamonix Valley. It’s peaceful setting under the Le Tour Glacier offers the idyllic Alpine retreat in the heart of the mountains. The village is well suited to those who like a slower pace of life.
Le Tour has a few bars and restaurants available for those staying in the village. As a quieter location the nearest pâtisseries, boulangeries and supermarket etc are in Argentière which is a 5 minute bus ride or car journey away.
Based at the foot of the lift leading up to the Balme (Le Tour and Vallorcine) ski area this village is really great for those who want to get first lifts in the morning and take the last run home. In the summer Le Tour is a popular spot for Mountain Biking and Hiking.
The village has easy access to Chamonix and the other ski areas where there are a number of winter and summer activities on offer.
