Chamonix. Probably best known as the ski-ing and alpine capital of the world. As a winter sports destination it has a reputation for the extreme which masks the great variety of family ski-ing that is also present here. Whilst the principal town is of the same name 'Chamonix' is often used in reference to the whole valley stretching from Les Houches to Vallorcine near the Swiss border. Chamonix is one of France's most visited towns and dominated by the landmark of Mont-Blanc (4807m). Views and scenery are stunning and the extent and variety of the terrain is unparalleled.

Les Houches. A traditional alpine village in the Chamonix Valley just 10 minutes from central Chamonix by the free ski bus. With its own lift system and identity it is a ski resort in its own right and offers some exceptional ski-ing! Host to a number of world ski-ing events, Le Kandahar, the Chamonix Mens World Cup Downhill is the highlight, held each January on the famous La Verte piste. Les Houches is also the permanent home of the British Ski Academy.

Snow Sure. Mont-Blanc creates its own weather system which usually generates huge quantities of snowfall throughout the season and Les Houches prides itself on usually being the first Chamonix ski area to open. In 2005/06 it opened on the 25th November and even last season 2006/07, when snow was sparse throughout the Alps, Les Houches was open on the 16th December way ahead of some of the more well known ski resorts!

Ski-ing in the Chamonix Valley ranges from 1000m up onto the glaciers at 3300m - 3800m and with mainly north facing slopes it is normal in Les Houches to ski down to the valley floor. The Skier's Lodge is situated right on the World Cup Downhill piste and, due to the excellent preparation of this piste for the race, it is usually possible to ski back to our chalet throughout the season.
