Magical off-piste in Les Houches
Having received approximately two foot of fresh powder here in Chamonix valley in the last couple of days, yesterday we chose to stick around Les Houches and make the most of it. When it is still snowing, and the visibility is poor, Les Houches really comes into its own with its tree-lined runs.
We made fresh tracks all over. Discovering new off-piste routes down the back near the La Cha piste, then skiing down through the trees near Bellevue… One truly lovely aspect of Les Houches is that the ski area is not steep enough to avalanche – even off-piste. So, it is a fantastic place to learn how to ski powder snow and off-piste.
