Argentière is one of the railway’s few stations whose passenger building is open to the public, with a ticket counter. The former freight yard has been disused for a long time, but a siding is still used regularly by service trains.
Argentière is the origin of hikes to col des Montets or Aiguilles Rouges. A cable car used to lead to Aiguille des Grands Montets, but it was destroyed in a fire in 2018. There is a project to rebuild it, tentatively for 2025.
