At just over an hour’s drive from Geneva, Les Houches is one of the closest ski resorts to any airport, making it the ideal hit for a short or weekend break. The resort itself is quite small but that gives it an intimate vibe away from the hustle and bustle. But it’s also part of the region that is the Chamonix Mont Blanc area. A free bus ride up the valley gives access to a huge amount of terrain to ski or ride, not to mention one of the liveliest party towns. For the best views of Mont Blanc and the easiest runs, head to Brévent-Flégère. If you’re more advanced, head on to the spectacular Grand Montets area.
