Les Houches is in close proximity to the famous summit of the Alps, Mont Blanc. Moreover, Les Houches and Chamonix are only 5 km apart. Les Houches is part of the Ski Pass Mont-Blanc, an elite ski area with 700 km of runs. The resort traditionally hosts the Kandahar downhill skiing competition. The runs of Les Houches are unrivaled in their beauty – they wind through pine forests and open panoramic views of the spectacular Aiguilles de Chamonix summits. A wide variety of winter sports are practiced at the resort, including cross-country skiing, ski jumping, telemark, and surf. You may go off-piste skiing with a guide.
