Les Houches, Haute Savoie, Rhone Alps

Rose is a 3-bedroom duplex apartment right by the Maison Neuve chairlift in Les Houches giving it ski-in, ski-out access. The living space, on the entrance level, has some double-height space, opening onto the generous balcony from which to enjoy the fabulous, open views of the entire Mont Blanc chain and Chamonix Valley. The garage is huge, so plenty of room for skis, bikes and all the other mountain equipment alongside covered parking.

The apartment is part of a small co-propriete of just 8 apartments in 2 buildings and has a large garage space with plenty of additional storage. The seller has owned the property since its construction in 2003 and has kept it in excellent condition.

This is a very practical, thoughtfully designed apartment in very good condition. It has impressive views, it is right next to the pistes and is in a tranquil, sunny spot overlooking the Chamonix Valley.

Location:

The apartment is a stone’s throw from the chairlift on the Aillouds piste leading down to the main Prarion ski lift. It sits in an elevated position with plenty of sunshine hours, a 10-minute drive from the village of Les Houches, and less than 20 minutes from the centre of Chamonix.

Les Houches is a pretty village, comprising of a number of hamlets, each with its own chapel and traditional style buildings. Less than 20mins 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 the best powder tree-skiing in the Chamonix valley. The mountain restaurants of Les Houches are nearly all family run and very authentic.

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. There are also plenty of walking trails from the town to explore and the world famous UTMB trail race passes through the town. The atmosphere in the town is relaxed and friendly and quieter than neighbouring Chamonix. If you’re after some hustle and bustle then the world-famous resort of Chamonix is a short drive or bus ride.
