Ski Chalets in les Houches |
A charming little village that has kept the traditional Savoyarde
character despite a rapid development as a ski holiday resort, les
Houches lies 7 miles to the west of Chamonix within sight of the summit
of Mont Blanc (15574ft).
Dominated on the east side by the massif, les Houches is part of the
Mont Blanc ski area stretching from Argentiere further up the valley
beyond Chamonix, westwards down the valley to includeSt Gervais, les
Contamines, Megève, Praz sur Arly and Nôtre Dame de Bellecombe and le
Tour.
There is good novice and intermediate skiing in les Houches and la Tour,
but the skiing further up the valley is exceptional both on and off piste
and there is plenty of scope for extreme skiing. The cable car ride to
the top of the Aiguille de Midi at 3842m and the ski down the 24km Vallee
Blanche is an experience that has to be done at least once in a lifetime
(good intermediates).
Taxis, public busses and chalet busses are the standard mode of
transport in the valley and are included in the lift pass.
