Getting Around

The Chamonix valley sits at the foot of Mont Blanc in the heart of the French Alps, displaying glaciers and breathtaking views of the snow capped mountains all around. Chamonix valley is ranked one of the top skiing and boarding resorts in the world and while Chamonix is famous for skiing in the winter, you may be surprised to hear that the summer time is just as popular - walking, hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, water rafting, mountain bike trails, even an 18 hole golf course! Not to mention major sports events such as the Mont Blanc Marathon and the Ultra Trail du Mont Blanc.

Très bon séjour

Très bon séjour dans cette magnifique ville de Chamonix.
Appartement très agréable et très bien équipé (confort, vue), juste un des matelas un peu fatigué.
Gestion des arrivées et des départs très faciles.
Place de garage un peu étroites pour un grand véhicule, surtout si un autre grand véhicule est déjà stationné (mais rien de rédhibitoire).

Response from Chamonix All Year

Always a pleasure to come back

We’ve been staying in this flat for three years. We love the view of Mont Blanc from the balcony. The flat is quiet, bright and well-equipped, and meets our expectations as it’s close to the Brévent cable car. The agency staff are responsive and attentive.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your loyalty and for sharing your experience Isabelle! We’re thrilled to hear that the flat’s view of Mont Blanc, its brightness, and proximity to the Brévent cable car continue to meet your expectations. It’s wonderful to hear that our team is attentive to your needs. We look forward to welcoming you back for many more stays!

Great location with lovely balcony

Perfect apartment for our little family of three. The balcony is big with amazing views. The antique asian furnishing is a bit unpractical and odd. It could have been furnished in a smarter way as it is used as a rental. But nevertheless a great place to stay.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for taking the time to review us Malin. We're so pleased that you were happy with the location of the apartment, and we are in conversation about making some updates to the apartment. We will be very pleased to host you again in Chamonix, should you ever wish to return!

Le Brevent Appartment - April short Ski break

Great accommodation, approx 50m to the Planpraz Gondola, taking you up to the Brevent ski area in Chamonix. My son and I found the apartment comfortable and it had everything we needed to support our stay. The sofa bed was fine to sleep on for four nights and folded away easily. Wifi worked fine, the kitchen was well equipped and the skis/boots could be stored on the ground floor. Perhaps the apartment could benefit from some updating, though for the price and location to the lift thought it was good value. If you're shopping in Chamonix you'll probably want to drive down the rte de la Roumnaz to the bottom and park in the car park on the right before rte des Pecles - free for up to 1 hr, otherwise the walk back up the hill allow 15 mins
The Chamonix All Year team were really helpful providing advice on ski hire, passes and much more to help us plan our holiday.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you, Ian, for your honest review.
We hope to host you again in the future!

3 friends long ski weekend

We very much liked the apartment, which is located right next to the Brevent lift, and has great views over Mont Blanc. The bedroom is a bit tight when configured with twin beds. Well equipped. Ski room on same level as entrance hall, which avoids a trek down to basement and is welcome. Bus stop right next door.

Great location

This appartement is facing the Brevent. it takes a few minutes to walk up to the télécabine.It is on the top of a steep hill and coming back with the grocery bag is a workout. The furniture is old Chinese style and it is not my cup of tea….I rather have something more functional.
The kitchen has everything needed and plenty of space for two adults. The view from any room is directly facing the Mont Blanc.
It is quite stunning.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for taking the time to leave this great review of Brevent apartment! The owner has chosen to decorate the apartment with antique chinese items which isn't what you typically see around here but we think it is part of its charm. we're pleased you liked that it was located only 2 mins from the cable car so you don't have to walk up the hill in ski boots!

Beautiful apartment

Beautiful clean apartment in a perfect spot for the Planpraz gondola and bus stop. Comfortable and well equipped for a family of four with amazing views of the mountains. The ski room on the ground floor was perfect for storing your skis and boots.
The location was ideal although the road down to the centre of town would be hard work in a pair of ski boots. I definitely recommend catching a bus which stopped across the road from the apartment.
The communication from Chamonix All Year was great. Clear explanation for check in/out and we were able to leave our bags at the office on our day of leaving.

Value for money

If you prefer to be away from a town centre, this is the place to be. Next door to the Brevent ski lift, meaning you also have easy access to Flegere. And great views from the windows because you are up high and also on the corner of the building. We are considering a return to Chamoniz next year and this would be our first choice for accommodation.

Check In-Out Difficulties

If you arrive before check in time or leve after check out time, they give the possibility to leave your luggage to the office. They dont give any transfer service between office and apprtment. As there is a distance between the office and apartment, it was very unconvenient and uncomfatable to arrange the transfer by yourself.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your review and feedback. We are delighted that you were happy with the apartment and it’s location. As you wrote in your feedback to us – “We enjoyed our stay in your apartment. The apartment was clean and comfortable, all necessary equipment was in place. The location is great, next the telefric”. Regarding the check in and check out process as you write we always say to our guests if they do arrive before check-in time or are departing Chamonix after the check-out time they are welcome to leave their luggage in our office which is located in the centre of Chamonix. Whilst we do not offer a luggage transfer service between the office and apartment, we did on the day of your arrival take your suitcases up to the apartment for you. We saw that you were a young family with large suitcases and as it was one of the busiest changeover days of the year it was unlikely you would find a taxi. As we had our housekeeping van available later that day we brought the suitcases to you as we always try to help our guests out where we can and get their holiday off to a good start. Thank you again for your review and we hope to see you in Chamonix again soon.

Brevent 90

Very comfortable and we'll equipped apartment. Excelled location next to the Brevent ski lift. The team were easy to contact and quick to dealbwith queries.

The kitchen layout is a bit awkward and there is too much personal furniture in the apartment which makes it cluttered.

Minor niggles in an otherwise excellent holiday apartment.

Brevent Appartment August 18

A lovely apartment next to the Brevent lift station. Comfortable and pretty well appointed throughout. Lovely views from the balcony. It has separate WC (no basin) and bathroom which may or may not be to every ones taste but a minor point. What was annoying is the cupboard placed immediately above the toilet which for anyone over about 5ft 4" meant you cracked the back of your head upon taking the throne - beware! A medium sized pan would be useful - there is a massive one which would cook for the 5000 and a couple of smaller ones + frying pan etc.
One needs to be aware this apartment is superb for the Brevent lift but every where else is a steep long walk or use the car. There may be a good bus service during the ski season but I cannot honestly say we saw one during our visit. This should not be a problem for most walkers but needs to taken in to account. Fresh bread in a morning for example was up to you to cook if so desired.
Chamonix All Year were as ever most helpful, friendly and accommodating throughout and would highly recommend them.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for staying with us and your feedback, we do have great bus services here all year round which as a Chamonix All Year customer you can use free of charge, the bus network does run the same in the summer so I am not sure why your only saw a few buses, it was a pleasure to meet you and we hope to see you again in the future!

Can be a beautiful apartment but...

J'ai adoré l'ameublement avec du mobilier que l'on n'a pas l'habitude de trouver dans un appartement de Chamonix.
J'ai apprécié le balcon périphérique avec le soleil du matin au soir et une vue très large
J'ai aimé la fonctionnalité de la cuisine
J'ai été déçu par la localisation, trop éloigné des commerces et trop proche du télésiège
J'ai été obligé de partir 2 jours avant la fin de ma location à cause du bruit dans l'immeuble (voisins bruyants, hall et escaliers intérieurs qui font caisse de résonance, et travaux assourdissants dans l'appartement de dessous)
Je ne reviendrai pas dans un si grand immeuble.
Dommage !

Great views of the chain

Lovely apartment with great views of the chain. Cannot fault the location or amenities. We had a great few days here.
We would recommend this apartment, very close to the Brevent gondola. Underground parking.
We were moved here as our original apartment did not have the views we expected. It is vital that Chamonix All Year make it very clear on their website whether the photos of an apartment are actually from the apartment or from somewhere in the building or from somewhere nearby.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for reviewing your stay with us in Le Brevent Apartment. We were very pleased to welcome you back for a third stay with us, and to help find a solution for the issues that you experienced when you arrived. We're glad that this apartment fulfilled your needs and hope that we will see you back again soon. We have already corrected the confusing image on our website for the property that you originally booked, so that this will be clear for future guests.

Fantastic Location with Large Balcony

+ Location was ideal, away from the hustle bustle of centre, but only 5 mins walk away to all
+ Large Balcony was the selling point for us, as wanted that outside space, which caught the sun and sheltered from the rain
+ Ideal apartment space with kitchen, dining area and separate bedroom
- Furniture inside and out was lovely antique Asian style, however a tad useless for a rented property - would have been nice to have a proper table and chairs outside, as well as some bedroom furniture for clothes. (Hall built in wardrobe was already full)
- Balcony did have a lot of big pots and rags that made the place look untidy for a rented property.

Overall did the job at last minute booking, with thunder and lightening 3 of the 8 nights we stayed. We wanted a reasonable spacious apartment with decent balcony within walking distance of town centre.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your review of Le Brevent Apartment. We are glad that you enjoyed the elevated location and the views from the balcony, and that the apartment was comfortably laid out for your group. The owner of the apartment lives in China and has furnished the home with some of her antique finds as you say which makes the apartment quite unique in Chamonix; we will speak to her about providing better balcony furniture based on your feedback and also look at re-organising the wardrobe / balcony spaces. We hope that we will see you back again in the future.

Week long holiday for a couple in Chamonix

The Brévent Apartment, although quite compact, is perfect for two adults. We absolutely loved the location (right next to the Brévent cable car stop in Chamonix) and only a 5 minute walk down into the town.

The customer service from Chamonix All Year was also excellent (as with previous bookings) and we thought the apartment was great value for money. The booking process is really streamlined, and we loved the fact we could book our lift passes through CAY and they were delivered to the apartment.

The flar is really comfortable inside, with a nice balcony on both sides. Well-stocked and easy to use kitchen.

Would definitely book again when we next holiday in Chamonix! Five stars!

Great place to stay

Lovely apartment. Stunning view. Lovely furnishings. Right by the Brevent lift which we loved but beware there is a hill up to it which pensioners and little kids might find challenging. I wouldn't want to push a push chair up to it. But if you are mountain walkers or skiers it is a great last push at the end of the day. Makes you feel very virtuous. Wrap around balcony is a real bonus. Nice big and well equipped kitchen. Good parking. Couldn't fault it. We will be back. Often.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for reviewing your stay with us in Le Brevent apartment. We are very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your holiday and liked the unique antique furnishings, as well as the facilities and stunning views from the top of the hill. There is always the free bus service too which runs up to the cable car and the apartment if you don't fancy walking up the hill! We're looking forward to seeing you again.

brevent appartment june 2016

the location is excellent, quite and the centre is easily got to by walking down rue de mollard..coming back up this road is an effort so when in the town centre walk to rue mummery and along route henriette ..much easier on the legs and takes another ten minutes or so..the brevent cable car is a stones throw away and is very handy..
the apartment was clean and everything you need was available , except for a can opener which we bought and left for others to use..the couch/bed in the 'telly' room was creaky and not very comfortable, in fact all the so called antique chinese furniture is tacky and non functional and be should be taken down the local tip and replaced with modern furniture, [a wardrobe in particular would help ] this will make the apartment much more attractive to renters..
the tv will accept a firestick or similar so you can get UK tv via the wifi ....
the balcony view of the town centre is blocked by three large trees and you only get a view of the mountains to the left and right of these but tbh these views are awesome...theres also a good view of the brevent cable car station....
the car parking is good and secure and we got our large 4x4 in with a bit of manoeuvring..
the chamonix-all-year team were helpful and polite...the apartment wifi went down due a national technical problem and within hours Jamie came with a gsm wifi dongle to keep us on the interweb..

A lovely holiday in Chamonix in a great apartment!

We were looking for a quiet apartment close to the centre of Chamonix with parking and a balcony. This looked like an idea solution and it was. Le Brevent is a really nice, well equipped apartment and made for a great stay.

We particularly liked the balcony which runs around the apartment on two sides and gives great views of Mont Blanc Massif. You can also see the Brevent gondola which is right next door to the apartment - really convenient but doesn't any congestion or noise problems.

The only faults of the apartment are: Not much storage space for clothes despite a whole range of antique furniture. A steep road up from the centre of Chamonix. No Washing Machine (not a problem for us) Having to close the shutters everyday whilst out to protect all the dark wood antiques.

We would stay here again under the right circumstances.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your great review of Le Brevent Apartment, we're glad that you enjoyed the quiet location which is convenient for the Brevent bubble lift and which offers great views from the balcony! We'll bear your other feedback points in mind and pass them on to the owner for their consideration next time they're looking to make improvements to the apartment. We hope to see you again next year!

Neighbourhood highlights

Le Brevent Apartment is in an excellent location as it is just opposite the Planpraz cable car which takes you up to the Brevent ski area, so you can be first on the lift and get fresh tracks. This apartment is at the top of the hill which leads to the cable car, and so also boasts majestic views of Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi. There is a bus stop on the other side of the road for access to the town centre, or Chamonix Centre bus stop at the bottom of the hill for buses throughout the valley. The tourist office and heart of the town centre are just 5 minutes' walk down the hill (5-10 mins on the way back up!), for shops, supermarkets, restaurants and bars.
