Identify the right village and chalet entrance

Use the lodging confirmation as the first source. Write the village, street, number, postcode and property name. Check whether the booking gives a central Chamonix contact address while the lodging itself is elsewhere in the valley. Ask the host to clarify names that repeat. If the group is staying in Les Houches and Argentière on different dates, send separate addresses for those legs, and say which address is needed first.

A host’s pin can show the entrance for walkers, the centre of a complex or a place vehicles can stop. Ask for the vehicle-access pin as well as the property address. Include useful road details, such as which side of a gate to approach, if the host can confirm them. Check the slope, surface and steps for anyone carrying ski cases or using mobility equipment, and raise any assistance need in the enquiry.

Some stays require key collection at a reception building or shop. Ask for both addresses and the latest time keys can be collected. Tell the desk whether this is a proposed stop with the whole party or something one person will handle separately. If plans change after arrival, state which stop should be updated and keep the address you are ultimately trying to reach visible alongside it.

Check whether your departure address is the same road point used for drop-off. Ask if loading restrictions vary by the time you plan to leave and where everyone can wait with equipment after checkout. Confirm one contact with the host and the desk. Save the exact written instructions where the group can find them offline. If a lift or railway stop is a separate meeting point, use its own official name on the itinerary.
