Area offering more than 50 km of trails through the forest, open to all levels of skiing.

The domain offers more than 50 km of slopes through the forest, open to all levels of skiing: downhill skiing, surfing, telemark, freestyle and speed-riding. Skiing in Les Houches means following in the footsteps of the champions Ivica Kostelić, Bode Miller and Didier Cuche. If Chamonix welcomed the first Olympic Winter Games in 1924, the city is grateful to its neighbour Les Houches for owning the famous descent of the Arlberg-Kandahar, the flagship event of the Alpine Skiing World Cup, ironically nicknamed the "Green" of Les Houches - a long black downhill run - which has hosted the competition every year since 2004, before stopping in 2012 and returning to the World Cup calendar since 2016 (in 20120: 8 and 9 February). A beginner's area is available at the arrival of the Prarion gondola lift (with a sled area) and on the Bellevue plateau, as well as a rather challenging snowpark near the Shuss des Dames chairlift at Voza Pass. In summer, the Prarion gondola lift and the Bellevue cable car both operate to take the many hiking trails towards Tête de Charme or Bionassay, with a mountain bike trail for freeride enthusiasts.

We had a snow dump on our first day and they shut this lift down, seems a bit strange that a lift of this scale couldn’t work in a decent amount of snow. We had to get a bus up the mountain a bit to the next chair.

The following day it was chaos and the lift couldn’t handle the amount of people and the wait times were long.

It was fine on Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

Word of advice, get your tickets from the machines if you can, saves the queues for the office.

Don’t go in high season unless you’re writing a case study in how to ruin a mountain resort with mass tourism!!! No more free parking, people everywhere, massive queues, extortionate lift prices

Tout est vraiment bien et joli, personnel sympathique continuez comme ça, c'est la troisème fois que je visite et je ne savais pas qu'on a des toilettes, une salle deux étages pour pouvoir manger à l'abri du froid. (top)
Le seul truc que je n'ai pas aimé aujourd'hui, est qu'il y a des groupes de gens qui utilisent cette salle pour manger comme des cochons et ils laissent les tables sales, ils ne pensent pas aux autres qui mangent aussi.
