The piste Map of Les Houches
At the entrance of the Chamonix valley and only 6km from its famous town, the pretty village of Les Houches is right under the impressive Mont-Blanc. It is a typical mountain village with a pretty church and old wooden Savoyard farmhouses around. There are a number of pleasant bars and good restaurants for quiet evenings out and buses run in and out of Chamonix all evening.
Its friendly relaxed atmosphere provides a great base for families. It is also ideal for those wishing to explore the rest of the legendary valley.

Skiing

Les Houches is the regular venue for Chamonix World Cup Downhill but is in fact well suited to families, beginners and intermediates, with easy runs at the top of the mountain. The 70 kilometres of almost entirely wooded slopes form the biggest single area of prepared runs in the Chamonix valley. The slopes are normally quiet and the views superb from the several attractive mountain restaurants. For the more daring the resort possesses 3 ski jumps.
