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.

Excellent location, our favourite in Chamonix.

It is our 4th stay here and we love the place. Nicely upgraded details inside since the last time we stayed here in 22. There is a recurring issue with the boiler fuses, and also noise from the boiler itself. The building itself now sorely needs some exterior painting and mainenance. I might be stricter on my points since I compare it with previous stays. We will anyway return next year.

Response from Chamonix All Year

We're so pleased you returned to stay with us Odd, and for taking the time to review us. We do apologise about the noise from the boiler. We will look into this so we can improve our guest's comfort, and we will contact the building management about the exterior, so they can update it. We're looking forward to seeing you again next year!

Great ski vacation

We stayed in this appartment for a one week ski vacation and everything about it was perfect! The location is unbeatable as the unit is located in downtown Chamonix, within walking distance to everything. The appartment was beautifully appointed with a complete kitchen and underground parking. The CAY team was extremely responsive and helpful. This was by far our best ski vacation. We will be back next year!

Response from Chamonix All Year

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. It is wonderful to know that you found our appartment well equipped and our team friendly. Your review and recommendation are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for staying with us!

Cozy, Spacious & Perfectly Located

We return here every year for several weeks of pure bliss! Cozy, spacious, and always warm, with breathtaking Mont Blanc views. The kitchen is perfectly equipped with IKEA appliances what is important for us.
The location is unbeatable—just 500m to nordic ski trails, the center, and the sport center with pool. The spacious underground garage is a winter lifesaver. And finally of cause the freedom to pick the day choice best ski resort around based on snow and weather report makes it perfect.

A true gem in Chamonix for someone!

Response from Chamonix All Year

Hi there Oleg,
we are so glad you got your little slice of heaven with your stay with us this year! The location is top and we are thrilled that you found the contents of the apartment up to standard and useful with everything necessary. We hope to have you back again next time for some more great winter sports!

Return Visit

Back again for a 2 week ski stay - which must in itself speak volumes. The apartment provides all that we need for a family ski holiday with a great location just a short distance to the town centre, ski bus, ice hockey matches etc. Great attention to detail in the entire booking process from CAY, from initial enquiry to after care, which I wish we could even come close to with our own dozen self catering properties. We drove out with a slightly larger car this year so the garage was even more fun for those of us used to ample driveways at home. Minor grumbles again about the lack of a breadboard and knives that are actually sharp enough to cut anything. The mattress upstairs is stlill in need of replacing. But another fantastic stay thoroughly enjoyed by all of us and likely that another return visit will happen if we can get ourselves sorted for next winter.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Hi Ed,
Thanks for your review, we are thrilled that you decided to come back and stay with us again this year.
We can add another chopping board, and will replace the knives. We really value this sort of feedback and keep track of all comments; we will take into consideration the mattress. Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing us for your stay! CAY team

Very enjoyable 3 week stay

Great property in a great location. Ideal for our 3 week ski based stay. Well looked after, with good communication, and would happily consider a return visit. And would recommend. Only issues would be on the attention to some of the detail which could easily be rectified, for example a good kitchen let down by the lack of bread board, bread knife, colander etc. and a couple of defects which were rectified once noted. The mattress upstairs is in need of replacement and the 5th bed on the mezzanine isn't suitable for large adults. At the beginning of a season and at the price point would have hoped for a bit better. Wouldn't put us off a return visit.

Response from Chamonix All Year

We are so glad you had a great holiday and enjoyed Sauberands 18's location! All of our properties are privately owned and furnished but we will make sure to let the owner know about your recommendation for new kitchen utensils and the upstairs mattress. We look forward to seeing you in Chamonix again!

We enjoyed our stay very much, we appreciated the cleanliness and the spacious living room, the kitchen was fully equipped, the view from the terrace was amazing. The bedrooms were a bit crammed, but it didn't bother us.

The Sauberands 18 apartment benefits indeed from a great location in Chamonix and we agree that the view is just exceptional!

Excellent appartement pour se reposer à Chamonix - Excellent apartment to relax in Chamonix

English at the end...
Fr: Nous avons trouvé cet appartement spacieux et bien disposé, au calme et assez proche des commerces de Chamonix à pied. La cuisine est très complète et lumineuse. Le balcon offre une belle vue et permet d'y être à l'aise à 3...
Le garage sous-terrain et fermé par une porte à clef, permet de laisser un VTT en toute sécurité.
Attention cependant, il n'y a pas d'ascenseur et donc des marches à monter pour l'appartement et à descendre pour la voiture au garage...
En: We loved this apartment large enough for 4 people and well agency. The little building is in a very quiet place, not so far from the center of Chamonix. The kitchen is very well equipped and light. The balcony offers a beautiful view and is confortable for 3...
The underground car park with its specific door allows you to store a moutain bike in safe conditions.
However take into consideration that there is no lift in the building and you have to use the stairs to go to the apartment and/or to the underground parking every time you go outside.

Need maintaining for guests

I would like to leave a good review as we had a great holiday in Chamonix over the Christmas period.
As we paid a premium rate, as the time of the season I was expecting better.
We had a blocked shower drain for most of the week, some of the pillow cases were ripped and just picking now but the balcony needs a lick of paint as it's all flaking off.
Any accommodation requires a bit of TLC to be ready for paying guests.
Great location

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for your review, we are pleased that you enjoyed the location of the apartment, we are sorry that you experience some issues with the shower during your stay but I am pleased that we were able to resolve this issue for you, we have passed your comments over to the owner with regards to the balcony and this will be done in the summer months. We do hope to see you again another time.

Stunning views!!

Lovely, well equipped apartment with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Close to town, bars, restaurants and stations. It was a little difficult to find on a slip road off a main road but not a big deal. Not ideal for older holiday makers who are not very strong as had to lug suitcases up a lot of stairs. Other than that beautiful location and our week’s weather was excellent.

Ideal location for center of town,bars, but stops

Property was very well equipped and very spacious for 4 adults. Situated in a quiet residential area which suited us. Only a short walk to shops, bars, restaurants, etc. Beds were large and very comfortable. Only thing we felt was missing was a full size mirror in the apartment to check how the tans were coming on! Although there was a dishwasher, a draining rack would be useful for the odd mug or glass. There was a tumble dryer which was an added bonus but a clothes horse on the balcony would have been useful for wet swimming costumes, dishcloths, etc.

None of our party had used an induction hob before and had difficulty working it out. Brief instructions for all the appliances would have been helpful. However, we contacted the office and the maintenance man arrived within half an hour to give us a demonstration. Very impressed with their prompt response.

We would definitely return to No. 18 perhaps in the winter.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you very much for your review we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and that we were fast to help you with the cooker issue, thank you for all the other feedback which our team will look into, we do hope to see you back again in the winter.

Thanks for an enjoyable stay

The relocation from Lou Lou out of the town centre was a pity but thanks for finding me such a lovely apartment instead. The BOSE ipod speaker did not work and no solution was found. I couldn't make the hot water cylinder over-ride work to provide more hot water when this had been exhausted by the previous occupants.

The automatic shutters are a nice feature, giving a sense of security and privacy as was the cosy underfloor heating.

Ski Set Ginabelle is a convenient location to hire equipment (short walk over the railway line) and they can bring extra equipment from their main outlet in the centre if required. Good to then hop on a bus at Place Mont Blanc.

Forgot that arriving on a Saturday, shops are closed on Sunday - an extra reminder in your blurb would be helpful. Provision of the small bottle of UHT milk was appreciated - a couple of dishwasher and washing machine tablets would have been useful.

Response from Chamonix All Year

Thank you for leaving a review of your stay with us in Sauberands 18 apartment. I'm afraid the BOSE speaker was defective and so we've removed this until a better solution can be found. Apologies if the hot water booster wasn't properly explained to you too on arrival, but we trust that you did have sufficient for the rest of your stay. We have updated our info files regarding Sunday opening hours to help future guests and we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the apartment. We hope to see you back again in the future, when hopefully we can put you up in Lou Lou apartment as per your original request.

ski break at Chamonix

We stayed at the Sauberands and it is a very ideal location for skiing at Le Planards. Perfectly suited for families of four.close to the town centre as well.
Excellent service by Chamonix all year. We will certainly come back again !!!
couldn't have asked for more. Though a few detailing in the apartment could have improved the experience !

Great apartment in a good location.

The apartment was the perfect solution for our 3 night stay in chamonix. For our group of 5 guys the apartment had good facilities and ample space. Everything is new and in good working order. Location is great, only a short walk from the centre of chamonix

Only complaint was there was no blind in the 2nd bedroom so it was very bright in the morning.

Great apartment

Very central to chamonix town, the apartment is obviously new and sunny as it is advertised, but it was too sterile and sparce, it definitely needed decorating to make it feel more comfortable, like a coffee table in front of the couch would go a long way, some wall hangings, and some nice touches. Staff were great and service from chamonix all year was excellent.
