If your office is wherever your laptop is, why not make that place the French Alps?
Chamonix might be known for its world-class skiing and mountaineering, but outside the busy winter and summer seasons, it’s a dream base for digital nomads. Think: crisp mountain air, peaceful trails, and unbeatable views, all just steps from your front door.
Why working from home in Chamonix?
1. The interseason sweet spot
Spring and autumn are quieter here. That means fewer crowds in town and on the trails, great weather for hiking or biking, and better value accommodation. It’s the ideal time to settle into a slower rhythm, one that lets you fit your mountain hobbies in around your work day. Log out, lace up your shoes, and be in nature in minutes.
You might hear “interseason” and assume everything winds down – but Chamonix keeps ticking. In September, several major lifts remain open, giving you easy access to high-mountain trails and panoramic views. The Aiguille du Midi cable car and the Montenvers train typically run into late September, and many lifts reopen briefly during the Toussaint holidays at the end of October – check Mont Blanc Natural Resort for the most up-to-date lift opening times.
Many of the valley’s top activities also stay accessible in autumn. Treat yourself to some recovery time at a local spa (like QC Terme), head out for a trail run or explore the best hiking routes surrounded by golden larches and crisp air.
Just because it’s quieter, doesn’t mean there’s less to do. In fact, you’ll likely find more peace, more space, and more time to enjoy everything Chamonix has to offer.
2. The best of both worlds
All Chamonix All Year properties are fully equipped for self-catered stays, with kitchens ready for you to fuel up between Zoom calls. But this isn’t just a holiday rental, your beds are made with hotel-quality linen, towels are provided, and your home will be spotless on arrival. The kind of comfort and convenience digital nomads appreciate when staying longer than a weekend.
3. Designed for remote work
We’ve handpicked a selection of Chamonix All Year properties that are ideal for digital nomads and remote workers. Each one features a dedicated desk space (no sharing with the dining table!) and a nearby plug socket for your laptop. Even better, several of them are equipped with fibre internet – perfect for video calls, uploads, or streaming in your downtime.

Coworking in Chamonix: Where mountain life meets remote work
Looking to switch up your work-from-home routine or meet fellow digital nomads? Chamonix has two great coworking spaces worth checking out.
The Ski Locker is a well-established hub just 100m from the Aiguille du Midi lift. It offers fast Wi-Fi, flexible passes (from single day to monthly), meeting rooms, and a relaxed, welcoming community of remote workers and creatives. It’s ideal if you’re after a central location and a social work vibe.
Another great option is the coworking space at Hotel La Verticale in the heart of town. With mountain views, strong Wi-Fi, and a quiet environment, it’s a great spot to focus during the day—just steps from coffee shops and post-work aperitifs.
Interseason offer – Stay longer, pay less

For every night you book at selected properties, you get an extra night free. Stay minimum 14 nights, and only pay for 7! That means more time to enjoy quiet trails, crisp mornings, and fresh air without paying peak season prices.
