Situated at 1000 metres of altitude and lying at the foot of Mont-Blanc (4810m), Les Houches offers an exceptional panorama of the peaks surrounding Chamonix.
The village is made up of a number of hamlets, with oratories, chapels, old bread ovens and farms bearing witness to its past and being the objects of particular attention today. With a 4635 hectare surface and 3070 inhabitants (Houchards), Les Houches extends over 8 km between Servoz and Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, on the Arve valley on two hillsides of high crystalline chains : Mont Blanc in the East and the Aiguilles Rouges on the West. The administrative centre of Houches, in 1000 meters of height, is practically directly above the Mont Blanc massif. The municipal limit is situated under the Mont Blanc, in the Dome du Goûter at 4304 meters of height.
