Nestled at the heart of the Mont-Blanc massif, just 5 kilometres from Chamonix, les Houches is a jewel of a place for a family holiday in the mountains. Its ski area offers two sides: one facing Mont-Blanc, above Les Houches, and the other facing the Fiz range and Val Montjoie, above Saint-Gervais. You will be able to enjoy 55 kilometres of slopes and delightful forest trails, adapted to all levels of skiers. It is generally possible to ski right down to the village. Whenever the weather conditions are bad, windy or avalanche prone, Les Houches ski area, which is particularly safe and sheltered, tends to stay open for the joy of all.
Les Houches is internationally renowned thanks to its legendary “Verte des Houches”. You can watch the fastest skiers in the world hurtle down this famous slope during the alpine skiing world cup. Apart from skiing, Les Houches has many other winter activities to offer: sledding, cross-country skiing, ice-skating are but a few. There is also lots to do in the summer, particularly in the Chavants lake area.
Les Houches’ appeal is considerable and its property prices are more affordable than in Chamonix. Chamonix Immobilier has chalets for sale in Les Houches, ski-in/ ski-out apartments and renovation projects in sectors such as Les Chavants, Maison Neuve, Prarion, Bellevue, Saint Antoine, la Griaz, le Pont…
