The skiing in Argentière is mostly advanced level. The Grands Montets offers some of the best and most difficult off-piste and black-piste skiing anywhere, but be sure to take a guide if venturing away from the marked trails. As with ski holidays in the rest of the Chamonix valley, the scenery in Argentière is stunning, but you've got the same problems of unreliable buses and the inevitable crowds to contend with.

Those who ski Argentière generally aren't too interested in tans or gastronomic delights, but are lucky to have some of the best mountain eateries in the Chamonix area. And down in the village, the newly-opened Marti (in the old town by the Mairie) is world class if you miss your nouvelle cuisine. The nightlife's not bad either with the ever-popular Office Bar continuing to attract a lively crowd.

Overall, Argentière is a true skier's resort - not really for those just starting out, who will be more comfortable in neighbouring Le Tour or Chamonix's Flégère slopes.
