Les Houches: your gateway to the world famous Vallée de Chamonix

Winter sports with a view of Mont Blanc

Les Houches is located in the French region of Haute Savoie, only about six kilometres away from the famous Ski World Cup site Chamonix. From Les Houches, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the highest mountain in the Alps, the Mont Blanc.

The ski area is great for families: Most of the slopes are blue or red. In the upper part of the resort, there are wide runs to carve on. Down towards the valley, idyllic forest sections make for a picturesque change from the standard slopes.

By the way: If you are longing for moments of true freedom, you can find beautiful unforested freeride areas around the Prarion and Bellevue peaks. For an extra bit of fun, you should rent the latest freeride gear at INTERSPORT Rent.
