Welcome. The Skier's Lodge is ideally located in the World Cup Ski Circuit venue of Les Houches, which is one of the ski areas that make up the resorts of the Chamonix Valley. Under the fabulous panorama of the Mont-Blanc chain, with soaring peaks and sweeping glaciers, our chalet is in a privileged position from which you can walk straight onto the meadow or take the two minute stroll to the cable car.

Our chalet welcomes individuals, couples, families and groups of up to 20 people. Accommodation is provided on a 'Bed & Breakfast' or 'Fully Catered' basis and you can stay for any duration from a single night through to two weeks or more!

Imagine. A fairytale land of majestic, snow-capped mountain peaks, green flower spinkled meadows, dotted with idylic mountain chalets, deep blue glacial lakes, pure mountain air, good food and wine, together with a warm and friendly welcome - That's the beautiful alpine village of Les Houches high in the French Alps.

For more than 200 years, Chamonix has been one of the most popular summer destinations due to its exceptional sightseeing possibilities around the Mont Blanc massif. In the summer numerous cable-cars, chairlifts and mountain railways make the mountain heights accessible to everyone. With temperatures reaching 30 degrees in the summer under clear blue skies - you're also guaranteed a tan!

Accommodation. The Skier’s Lodge sleeps up to a maximum of 20 people. The chalet consists of three floors and has been extended over the years. In autumn 2005 we completed a major refurbishment which included new en-suite facilities, wetroom, sauna, and new lounge with comfy sofas, together with the renewal of all electrics, the installation of fire doors and a hotel standard fire alarm and smoke detection system.

En-suite Facilities. There are 7 guest bedrooms: On the upper floor are four bedrooms, three have en-suite facilities with the forth having its own private facilities across the hallway. On the ground floor is the entrance hall, kitchen, a further bedroom with en-suite shower and hand-basin, the wet room, sauna and separate toilet. A relaxing dining room with log fire and sitting area is also here which opens up onto a huge elevated terrace providing superb views of the Chamonix Valley and mountains. On the lower ground floor is a bedroom with en-suite facilities and a bunkroom with en-suite shower and washbasin. There is also a separate toilet. In addition, located here is the games/cards room, and our new lounge/bar and patio doors opening out onto our deck with outdoor swimming pool. There is a drying room, bike storage and garden, also ample parking.

Hot Tub. Our 'Grand Canyon' seven seat hot tub was installed in November 2004. Situated on our terrace you can relax and ease those tired muscles after a hard day's activities whilst enjoying the fabulous view!

Swimming Pool. We now have a 9m x 4m outdoor swimming pool which is surrounded by a private deck area for sunbathing from which you can enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding mountains.

Games Room. Our existing bar/tv room has been converted into a games room for children and adults alike with a seating area, dartboard and the Sony PS2 will have it's own separate tv for the addicts amongst us!

Lounge & Bar. We now have a large separate lounge area with comfy sofas for relaxing, complete with recessed bar, internet broadband, and our new widescreen 50" plasma TV with Video/HD upscaled DVD, and Dolby Digital 6.1 Cinema Surround Sound system.

Food. Life in our chalet seems to revolve around meal times, be it hearty breakfasts (available from 4.00am - 09.30am), relaxed dinners or just a chat at tea time. We are one of the few chalets that in the summer that offer an optional evening dinner! So start the day with our buffet breakfast, come home after a day out to relax in the evening with our optional evening dinners around the large communal table - or out in the sun on our huge terrace, accompanied by complimentary wine and rounded off with tea or coffee.

Things To Do. There is a vast range of activities for all ages - and you'll be hard pressed to fit them all in! You can choose from walks along alpine trails, cable-car rides, mountain railways, canoeing, whitewater rafting, tennis, archery, climbing, and more! Or why not relax in the large outdoor swimming pool at Chamonix which has waterslides for the children! For the more adventurous there's tandem parapente flights, the exciting summer tobbogan run or even grass ski-ing! Les Houches and Chamonix are the ideal base for a family holiday and you'll easily find something to do that appeals to everyone, whatever your energy level.

We also offer a full programme of excursions using our own 26 seat coach which is based at the chalet for the season. Full day, half day, and evening sightseeing is offered subject to a minimum number of participants.

With over 350kms of footpaths in low and mid-altitude they're the biggest and best kept network in the Haute-Savoie region. There's a multitude of walks for all levels from easy strolls with the family to more adventurous hikes. The popular 'Tour du Mont-Blanc' and many other trails start just 100m from our chalet!
