This was my first time to the Chamonix Valley so I wasn't familiar with the Les Houches area or ski resort. First, the property was perfect for my wife and daughter. It looks exactly like the photos and was ski-in/ski-out to the Prarion Gondola just west of the property. Although there was only one bathroom, the toilette shares a separate room with the washer/dryer; so it was manageable with my wife and daughter. The condo is well equipped and has everything you need, including a French Press (first time I used one). It's super clean and the hosts were fantastic. Restaurants, market and rental shops are nearby, but a car is necessary to access them as well as the village of Chamonix a few kilometers away. I would come again and highly recommend to my friends. Second, the Les Houches ski resort is a well kept secret. Although it is referred to as a "family resort", the face is home to the Kandahar Men's Downhill run - 3 KM top to bottom; 3,000+ vertical feet and has variety of slopes for all abilities. The snow was great, the runs were long and on-mountain services were well staffed and friendly. Most important, no crowds or lift lines! Although we only skied one day, you could easily ski three or more and not get bored.
