The town is always lively with virtually round the clock apres-ski and plenty going on throughout the night. Bard’ Up is probably one of the most popular bars in Chamonix and Chambre Neuf is one of the most renowned places for skiers and boarders to meet. One of the most popular nightclubs in Chamonix is called 'No Escape' - the interior is very chique and the service is excellent - www.noescape.fr. There is also Dicks T-Bar, which is situated in the oldest building in Chamonix, on the Rue des Moulins and open 7 days a week in the winter from 10 until 4 in the morning. Argentière is more relaxed and informal but has a good range of bars.

Chamonix has over 100 superb restaurants to suit all tastes and pockets from French cuisine to international dishes. Argentière also offers a number of reasonably priced restaurants. Typical dishes include the local Savoyard specialities, fondues and pizzas. A typical 3-course meal will cost upwards from around 23 Euros. Recommendations include the restaurants l’Impossible, Bumble Bee Bistro, Atmosphère and Neapolis.

A bustling, lively town, Chamonix is also ideal for non-skiing activities • Sports centre in Chamonix with tennis and squash courts, indoor heated pool with waterslides • New fitness centre with sunbeds, sauna, Turkish bath • Heli-skiing • Paragliding • Sleigh rides • Ice skating rink

Ski-School: The Club in Argentière has its own slopes, open to children from the age of 3. Kindergarten/Crèche is open for children from 10 months-2.5 years, with English speaking supervisors. The ESF runs classes for children aged 6 to 12 years.
