LES
HOUCHES
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.
LES HOUCHES APRES SKI Good choice of bars,
restaurants, shops, nightclubs, discos, 2 cinemas, swimming
pool, museums and ice driving
accommodation in Les Houches
Our 3* residence, pictured above, is situated near the shops
and restaurants and less than a kilometre from the lifts
(free shuttle service).
In the residence itself you'll find a traditional wine bar and relaxation centre:
hammam, jacuzzi, sauna, gym.
We are not offering this residence in the 2008-2009
season for logistical reasons. If, however, you really
want to stay in the area then we suggest CHAMONIX
