The Skier's Lodge - Chamonix HOME>Winter>Ski-ing

Looking towards the Aiguille du Midi from the Crozat chairlift in Les Houches

Les Houches - Great for intermediates, families & groups!

Resort. Les Houches has 18 lifts and offers ideal ski-ing for intermediates, beginners and mixed ability groups. There is a good variety of runs ranging from easy nursery slopes, long winding blues, challenging reds and the black of the Mens Downhill. There are also moguls, lots of off-piste through the trees and a snowboard park. Runs are long and mainly tree-lined which means you can ski here even if the weather closes in! They're also covered by 120 snow cannons - just in case! Pistes are rarely crowded and you can experience true 'millionaire' ski-ing with runs almost to yourself!

The north facing slopes in Les Houches retain good snow for much of the season and ski-ing back down to the valley floor is quite normal. The nearest lift is just 150 metres horizontal from the Lodge and ski-ing back to the garden for a mid-day break, or at the end of the day, is a pleasure not many chalets in Chamonix can offer!

Normally the ski lifts here open mid-December. The ski season in Les Houches finishes around the end of April, though good ski-ing is still found in Chamonix where the season continues into May.

Les Houches - 18 ski lifts, 24 pistes, 70kms of ski-ing!

Chamonix Region - 762kms of ski-ing! 14 resorts - 287 pistes: 36 black, 118 red, 81 blue, 52 green, snowpark, 45kms cross country. All on one skipass!

Ski Pass. There is a choice of ski passes depending on your level of ability. You can purchase a Les Houches only pass, which represents excellent value, with a 6-day adult pass costing only 143€ and a family-of-four pass at 420.70€. A day pass for the other Chamonix areas is approximately 38€. The Mont-Blanc adult full area pass is 250€ for six days. We will send you a ski pass order form detailing the most cost-effective options so that your passes will be ready for you when you arrive!

Ski Bus. The ski bus stop is just 150m from our chalet! A frequent free service running every 15 minutes connects Les Houches with the other Chamonix ski areas of Brevent, Flegere, Auguille du Midi, Grand Montets and Le Tour.

Vallee Blanche The famous Vallee Blanche is a wonderful off-piste opportunity that can be skied by any competent ‘red run’ skier. It is 24 kilometres of descent, with a 2800 metre vertical drop, along the ‘Geant’ and ‘Mer de Glace’ glaciers. It starts from the top of the Aiguille du Midi at 3842 metres high and can usually be skied between January and May.

The Vallee Blanche is an unmarked, unpatrolled, high mountain itinerary along glaciers with crevasses! There are no safety measures. Under no circumstances is it to be confused with a ski area. Depending on snow cover you can return to Chamonix on skis or via the Glacier gondola and Montenvers rack railway. The Vallee Blanche takes on average three to five hours of continual ski-ing to complete.

If you wish to ski the Vallee Blanche you must hire a guide. We can arrange this for you, and if there are a small group of four or more that want to ski it together, then we are able to offer very competitive prices.
