Les Houches properties for sale

Les Houches stands as the perfect family resort within the legendary Chamonix Valley, positioned just 6 kilometres from Chamonix town with 55 kilometres of tree-lined slopes offering spectacular views of Mont Blanc and authentic Alpine charm. This traditional mountain village maintains its peaceful character while providing exceptional skiing from 990 to 1,900 meters in elevation, making it ideal for families and intermediate skiers seeking shelter and definition in challenging weather conditions.

World-Class Racing Heritage

Les Houches is home to the famous Kandahar World Cup downhill, hosting international skiing events on the legendary “Verte des Houches” – a technically challenging 3.3-kilometre run with 870 meters of vertical drop that tests the world’s best skiers. Despite its intimidating name meaning “green slope,” this black diamond course represents the historic origins of slope classification and serves as a training ground for the French National Ski Team.

Exceptional Family Facilities

Awarded the prestigious “Famille Plus” certification, Les Houches features perfectly designed terrain for progressing beginners, with 90% of slopes dedicated to beginner and intermediate skiers. The resort offers specialised children’s areas, including “Ski Camp” around the Prarion gondola summit, complete with sledging, teepees, and snow tubing facilities, plus superb mountain restaurants hidden throughout the forested slopes.
