Argentiere Town Centre

Argentiere is a small alpine village located in the same valley as Chamonix. Just an hours drive from Geneva and with access to some of the best skiing in Europe it is an excellent location often overshadowed by its more famous neighbour. There is a great atmosphere in Argentiere with a more friendly local feel. There is a good selection of bars in Argentiere, none of them are huge but all have a great character and some of the best après ski in the valley.

There is a good bus network in the valley connecting Argentiere to all the separate ski areas as well as Chamonix. A good range of services is also on offer down the valley in Chamonix such as larger shops, supermarkets, a cinema, bowling, museums and more bars. Getting between Chamonix and Argentiere after 8pm can be difficult with the bus service becoming very sparse so worth bearing in mind if you fancy a night out in Chamonix.

Nightlife

Argentiere offers a few fun bars:

Rusticana – Pop your skis/ boards onto the back patio and warm up inside into a relaxed and chilled environment with great staff and food. Posh John and Jerome will take care of all your beverage needs!

The Office Bar - Popular après-ski venue also does "gastro" pub grub. It usually has live sports on two, large screen TV’s and offers live music a few nights a week.

The Stone Bar – Italian restaurant and bar, great place for a hand tossed pizza and homemade pasta sauces. They have a pool table and darts in the back.

Savoy Bar- A small, lively bar that hosts a fabulous après-ski on a daily basis.

Après Ski 

Argentiere has a great après-ski but not much of a busy nightlife so if you would like a busier night out, just pop onto one of the buses to get down into Chamonix. Night buses run till fairly late, and a taxi can always take you back if you’ve found yourself in Les Choucas and are very late!

Other Things To Do

Indoor swimming pool, indoor climbing wall, hiking, snow shoeing, bowling, gym.

  • There is always a range of ages, nationalities, mixtures of solo travellers, couples, groups etc. We have booked as a group of 6, a group of 36 (no joke) and even just me and my boyfriend – it works for all.

  • Lunch and dinner were epic. Buffet style with delicious and varied options each day and night. Not cheap foods either - Full roast chickens, ribs, roast beef, etc. Unreal!

  • No matter how hard you try, when you book everything separately (especially with the Euro and price of food at the moment), you will never beat UCPA.

  • UCPA is a unique and brilliant experience, I would not describe it as a hotel but also not hostel it is somewhere in-between. Its a place where meeting people and making friends...
