Home to The Alp’s highest peak, the Chamonix Valley in France stretches from Servoz to Barberine on the Swiss border. It has the most stunning mountain top views that attract visitors from all around the world. With its high elevation, the Chamonix region is synonymous with Winter sports and even hosted the first-ever Winter Olympics in 1924. So whilst people flock for their Winter wonderland holidays, there is also an abundant amount of outdoor activities for the adventure seekers not too far from our August home that will have you loving Chamonix no matter what time of the year.If you find yourself running out of ideas, the ‘la maison des guides’ (the guides house) in the main street of Chamonix can help provide you with all the information you need for all sorts of activities.

Take a look at this Kimberly and Scotts stay in their Signature homes, in Chamonix and Valbonne. Reno-based, American family, Kimberly, Scott and their five children are frequent international travellers for work and quality time together. They value culture and experiencing new places and have always wanted to own a second home in France. Kimberly and Scott travel a lot for work and will embark on a big trip as a family at least once a year. Three of the five children are young adults currently in college in different American cities and the youngest two sons are in high school. Their August homes will allow the whole family to get together no matter where they are to spend quality time together. Part one of the trip, we started off in Chamonix and our friends joined us, we couldn’t wait to explore Chamonix with them, we discovered new places in the town an of course, we skied and ate well! We wanted to ski the la Flegere, and visited the office tourist town and they suggested skiing at La Tour… We were very proud of ourselves for navigating the regional transport, however, once we arrived at the Vallorcine telecabine there was no one there!! Someone looked at us and told us, “ you are brave”, well it didn’t occur to us that we were on a death mission! We took the gondola to the top and we met with no visibility, a total blizzard… Thankfully we found a guide that was taking a group down the mountain so we just followed them! But ended up in a different resort.. Still in France, at least lol! Not a ton of skiing happened but an adventure and a day we will never forget!

Come with us on our journey around Sóller to find out why we and our co-owners fell in love with this sweet town.
