Why would you go to Les Houches?

Well, if the World Cup's on, you have to make the effort to see it or even if it's not, it's an experience to ski the Kandahar, the World Cup Piste.  

For families, the area is gentle, and despite it being at low altitude, there are snow guns on piste here.

If the weather has closed in, the pistes at Les Houches are treed, being cut into the forests and that means far better visibility.


Tips: 

  • It is best to have your accommodation close to a bus stop. From years of visiting ski resorts all over the world, I know that the worst thing is the trudge back to the lodge after a hard day on the slope.
  • Always keep your ski pass on you even when not skiing so as to use the bus transport.
