Curated byCatherineUpdated I’d put Les Houches-Saint-Gervais Ski Area on the list for the views.
More about this place
Les Houches–Saint-Gervais Ski Area is a lower, tree-lined domain offering a practical option for mixed abilities and less exposed skiing when conditions permit. The area runs between roughly 1,000 and 1,900 meters, with Mont Blanc panoramas, family zones, and the famous Verte des Houches race piste.
Choose it when cloud, wind, or group confidence makes the valley’s more exposed sectors a poor fit. It is not included in Chamonix Le Pass: travelers need the Les Houches product or qualifying Mont Blanc Unlimited coverage, so decide before leaving Chamonix and confirm the day’s exact inclusions.

The official 2026–27 forecast runs December 19–April 4, subject to snow. Bellevue and Prarion are separate base approaches; pick one from the live lift map and return there rather than assuming every last-run connection will remain open.
