# Les Houches

The cosy skiing village of Les Houches lies right at the foot of Mont Blanc, at the entrance to the Chamonix valley, at an altitude of 1,100 metres. Only 6 kilometres away from Chamonix, one of the most famous ski resorts in the world, Les Houches has preserved its own original, relaxed mountain village character. Les Houches is a particularly ideal winter sports location for families who want to spend a refreshing skiing holiday in a small cosy skiing village that is nevertheless in the middle of an enormous skiing region. Guests staying in Les Houches can either use the village’s own ski resort or sample what’s on offer across the Chamonix-Mont Blanc area.

The ski resort at Les Houches ranges from a height of 950 to 1900 metres and has a total of 55 kilometres of runs. The ski runs in the Domaines des Houches on the slopes of the Prarion range from easy sections through to deep snow runs and world-class level pistes. Most of the pistes in the village’s ski resort go through larch and pine forests and end up right outside many of the hotels and holiday apartments.
