Summary
Les Houches is a quiet, pleasant village at the entrance to the Chamonix valley – well-positioned for exploring the region and great for short breaks. The resort has an old core with a pretty church, but modern developments in chalet style have spread along the road at the foot of the slopes, with the result that some of them are quite a walk from the lifts. The slopes amount to the biggest single area in the valley, with varied treelined runs that make the best place to go when bad weather closes the other areas. A funicular links them with the old spa town of St-Gervais, and beyond to the slopes shared with Mêgeve.
