LES HOUCHES

Les Houches - the mountain

Les Houches - Chamonix valley

access: from Chambéry airport - 80 min
from Geneva airport - 60 min


Les Houches is the largest ski area in the Chamonix valley with a nice mix of wooded runs and open piste making it a good all-weather resort.


The village has a truly French atmosphere with little of the 'international' architecture which has invaded much of the Alps.


The ski area is fairly low - 1000 to 1900 m in altitude but as it's right next to Mont Blanc itself there's usually plenty of snow. Incidentally there's one of the best panoramic views of the Mont Blanc Massif from the top lift.


Slopes: 55 km of pistes de 1000 m à 1860 m
1 black,
12 red,
5 blue,
4 green.
Lifts: 1 téléphérique, 1 télécabine, 4 télésièges, 12 téléskis.
