Our opinion
La Joux is all about the location. If you are a fan of a beautiful hamlet in a tranquil position, but still within easy access to Chamonix, then this ticks all the boxes.

Location
Chalet Rachel is nestled in the sunny hamlet of La Joux between les Tines and Argentière, up the Valley from Chamonix itself.
Chamonix is 6 km away, just under 10 minutes by car. For access to the slopes the Grands Montets ski area is just over 2 km (3 minute drive) and the chalet is 3.5 km (4 minute drive) from la Flégère ski area, which is in turn linked to the Brévent ski area. The ski areas can be easily reached by the local train, which can be caught near the chalet.
It feels like a mountain retreat yet benefits from being easily accessible from both Chamonix and Argentière. La Joux is accessed by a quaint narrow bridge, which adds to the exclusive feel of the hamlet.
