Holiday Rentals in Les Houches - A Guide to Les Houches
Les Houches holiday rentals are located around 6 kilometres from the well-known ski resort of Chamonix, in the Departement of Haute-Savoie, in the Region of Rhône-Alpes.
Holiday rentals in Les Houches are only a short drive from the centre of Chamonix and the village is much quieter. (See our ‘holiday rentals in Chamonix’ page for further information).
The closest airport to holiday rentals in Les Houches is Geneva, about an hour away by car and it is easily reached from the UK by air.
If you are flying, you’ll need to hire a car when you get there, and it’s advisable to rent snow chains or snow tyres if you are going during the winter season. Take a look at our car hire guide page for how to get the best deals on car hire in Les Houches.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Les Houches
There is a plentiful mix of chalets and apartments to rent in Les Houches. I found a very reasonably priced 2 bedroom chalet to rent in Les Houches, able to sleep 6 people.
It’s situated only 150m from local shops and restaurants, yet is in a quiet location offering great views of Mont Blanc, and it also comes with private parking facilities.
If you are looking for an apartment to rent in Les Houches, how about a custom built property which you can ski right to (which is unusual in the Chamonix valley). There are several like this, sleeping 8 people in 4 bedrooms, and they all have private parking for the car, which is essential in this area.
