Les Houches is a charming authentic alpine village next to Chamonix, at the foothill of the Mont-Blanc range, and just an hour away from Geneva airport. It has a very attractive skiing-area with most of the slopes winding through the pine forests down to the village. The village lives all year round with its many shops and restaurants. Chamonix is only a few minutes by bus, car or train providing an even greater variety of skiing, along with an abundance of other winter and summer activities.
