The ski
Winter in Les Houches means skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. The family-friendly winter wonderland offers 360-degree views of the valley and serves as a gateway to the Chamonix Mont-Blanc ski area. It has over 55km of pistes, and the largest number of prepared runs in the Chamonix Valley, with almost entirely wooded slopes. The high-altitude hotspot, Grand Montets (Argentiere), is just a short drive away, and is covered with the full area ski pass.

The apres-ski
Although quieter than Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, which is accessible via bus all day and night, Les Houches has a pleasant ambience after-hours, with a good selection of restaurants and bars. Le Basilic serves up seasonal Savoie dishes, and Le Delice is known for its excellent food and family-run, welcoming atmosphere. For sundowners, there are four main nightlife areas, Le Prarion, La Bellevue, Le Centre and St-Antoine, all of which are on the main road through Les Houches.

The summer
From mountain biking to paragliding, Les Houches transforms into a green paradise playground over the summer months. The area has several trails with stunning views of the mountains, varying in difficulty to accommodate both casual walkers and experience hikers. Mountain biking enthusiasts can take advantage of a range of routes, and for an adrenalin-filled aerial perspective of this stunning valley, parapente flights promise an unforgettable experience.

The surrounding area
The nearby towns of Courmayeur, Megeve, and Contamine-Montjoie are all within a 30-minute drive, boasting some of the best places to eat, drink, spa and ski in Europe.
