Les Houches

Built around farming hamlets in the Arve valley, Les Houches developed into a year-round Alpine resort on the western side of the Mont Blanc massif. The commune lies between Chamonix and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, where wooded slopes rise toward high mountain terrain and the Arve flows down-valley. Its Prarion and Bellevue lift areas provide access to walking and skiing terrain, while La Verte des Houches, known as the Kandahar course, has hosted men’s Alpine Ski World Cup downhill races.
