Ski In Ski Out - Les Houches, Chamonix

Les Houches this week seemed to receive a great deal of attention in the press this week, although reading between the lines, there was more than an element of creative journalism (we are of course being nice here with our wording)!

Les Houches certainly is one of the gems in the Chamonix Valley and has steadily built up a select and knowing following who love the quaint, and pretty Les Houches, and its large chalets and alpine gardens. Whilst at one time Les Houches chalets were predominantly owned or given to the farming community, the Les Houches luxury chalets we now see are a far cry from these, and the old farm houses transformed into luxury boutique chalets.

As for the ski in ski out Les Houches chalets, these are few and far between, and there are few of note. According to press reports, one of them, Chalet Prarion, is the most exclusive ski in ski out chalets in the world and we tend to agree. However, the claims of this property being $10,000 a night appear somewhat 'expanded', and this ski in ski out luxury chalet Les Houches can be secured from anything ranging from $10,000 for a week, up to $20,000 in high season.
