Of these, Annapurna (8091 m), the first 8000 ever climbed in 1950. But also the first to Fitz Roy (3405 m) in 1952, the Chomo Lonzo (7804 m) in 1954, Makalu (8463 m) in 1955 or Jannu (7710 m) in 1962.
As tribute to him, his son Antoine was renovated this house that belonged to him with heart. And it is he who will welcome today.

"If really no stone, no serac, no crevice is waiting somewhere in the world to stop my race, a day will come when, old and weary, I shall find peace among animals and flowers." Lionel Terray. "The Conquerors of the useless."

Perfect

We had a fantastic week at Maison Terray. It is ideally located right in the middle of Chamonix but also right next to a car park and bus stop. It is spacious (we were a group of 6 adults), beautifully appointed and perfectly clean. Communication with Antoine was clear and easy. Highly recommended. We'd love to stay there again.

Wonderful experience!

The property was precisely as advertised with state-of-the-art appliances. Our entire group of 8 (two last minute participants) agreed that this was a marvelous choice. Thank you, Antoine!

Simply the Best!

We couldn't have been happier. House Terray is located on Rue du Dr Paccard, which means fabulous restaurants and bakeries within 5-10 minutes walking. Its balcony offers the most amazing mountain views and hours of people-watching while enjoying your morning coffee or evening cocktail. While on the main drag, the house is very quiet with the balcony door closed. Antoine (Host) was excellent with quickly responding to any of my questions. We are currently planning another trip to Chamonix and hope to stay at House Terray again!

Jan 2024 Maison Terray Stay

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Maison Terray for a relaxing vacation, and I must say, it exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, the location was nothing short of breathtaking. Nestled in a peaceful and secluded area, surrounded by lush greenery and scenic views, it offered the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. From the moment I arrived, I instantly felt a sense of serenity and tranquility wash over me. The house itself was an absolute gem. Impeccably designed and tastefully furnished, it exuded both elegance and comfort. Every room was spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with modern amenities to ensure a luxurious stay. The attention Mr. Antoine detail was remarkable, as the owner spared no expense in creating an unforgettable experience. Furthermore, the cleanliness of the house was impeccable, making me feel right at home from the minute I walked through the door.

Perfect property in central Chamonix

Our family had a wonderful stay in Maison Terray. The house is beautiful, well appointed and renovated to a high standard and the location in the center of Chamonix was excellent. Antoine and Elise were very welcoming and easy to communicate with. Would definitely come back!

Wonderful lodging in central Chamonix

We stayed at House Terray for two weeks while we taught a wilderness medicine course. It was the perfect place to relax after a long day and work on lesson plans. The bedrooms were beautiful, the appliances were top notch, and the sauna was a great touch. Antoine and Élise were gracious hosts and easy to communicate with. We would happily stay here again.

Unbelievable Stay in the Center of Chamonix!

We could not have experienced a better stay during our time in Chamonix! House Terray was perfect for our family of 7, including 3 children. It was conveniently located in the center of town in the middle of the local shops, restaurants, gondola lifts, and hiking trails. The flat itself was spacious with top notch, modern amenities and great attention to detail. We enjoyed cooking in at times and having coffee on the balcony overlooking the people passing by. Antoine was a great host and very accessible and helpful with recommendations. We would stay here again in a heartbeat and would recommend it to anyone!
