Full Description


Balancing the contemporary with the traditional is tricky, but this chalet has an impressive, open-plan, double-height living area that manages to retain the feel of a traditional chalet. With geo-thermal heating & A-rated energy efficiency, it is cosy, warm and very comfortable. Situated in a pretty village with good access to both Les Houches and Chamonix, it's just an hour's drive from Geneva.

Built to a very high specification, the chalet has been cleverly designed to make the most of the views and faces directly south, straight towards the spectacular Aiguille du Midi and its' surrounding peaks and the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open from the main living area straight onto the terrace and garden area.

Location:

Les Houches is a pretty village, comprising of a number of hamlets, each with it's own chapel and traditional style buildings. Less than 10mins from Chamonix, you have the best of both worlds here - a quiet, family friendly ski-area on one side, and all the vibrancy of Chamonix on the other. At an elevation of 1000m, the lifts from the town take you up to an altitude of 1860m and a network of tree-lined blues and reds bring you back down to base. For more advanced skiers, Les Houches has some of hte best powder tree skiing in the Chamonix valley. The mountain restaurants of Les Houches are nearly all family run and have a particularly good authenticity and standard of food.

In the mountains around the village, there is also a snow park as well as show-shoeing and cross-country skiing on offer. Les Houches has a good range of restaurants, bars, shops, 2 supermarkets, climbing wall and ice-rink in the winter. In summer, there is a lake and tennis courts and the walking trails from the village are stunning with panoramic views of the peaks that surround the Chamonix valley. The atmosphere in the town is relaxed and friendly, quite a contrast to the neighbouring Chamonix. However, if you fancy a bit of apres-ski action, it's just a short drive away or, perhaps more importantly, an easy bus ride home!
