Visitor Reviews of Les Houches


Chris Leeks from United Kingdom writes:

I have just returned from Les houches with a party of 9 from beginner to intermediate/advanced. The Les Houches resort really only occupied the more advanced skiers for about a day and a half. This was compounded by a lack of investment in the ski area. Apparently a dispute between the owners of the various ski lifts in Les Houches and the Mont Blanc/Chamonix areas has led to a degree of neglect. At one end of the valley are a few "Black" class drags at the bottom of some pleasant blues and the other end lies the Bellevue cable car where we sometimes stood for 20 minutes waiting for it to go. Having said that our beginners very much enjoyed the blues and greens at the top of the Prairion gondola.

The more experienced skiers enjoyed some of the other resorts in the valley and almost had a "taster" feel to the week. Many of them are not huge and offer a days ski each but give you some different experiences. It allows the skier to chase the sun or ski in 3 countries. Do not be put off by the drive to Verbier either, as it gave us a look at a much larger Swiss resort with a great variety of pistes.

Care needs to be taken over the ski pass. We had the Mont Blanc Unlimited pass which did not give us access to St Gervais (15 minutes away) but did to Verbier - an hour and half away. Another dispute between lift operators. You can get a pass to cover St Gervais but only covers the Prarion gondola in Les Houches. The owners really need to thrash out their differences to create a great area.

Les Houches was rather quiet with a few apres-ski bars and restaurants. One of our favourites was La Delice
