Two cable cars sit within a five-minute walk of this apartment in Les Houches, making it one of the more practical – and comfortable – bases in the Mont Blanc valley. There's a terrace for evening drinks and an open-plan living area for cosy gatherings after long days on the mountain. The shared wellness area, with its sauna, Jacuzzi, and indoor pool, takes care of tired legs, while Chamonix's Michelin-starred restaurants and après-ski scene are around ten minutes away by car.

Home truths:
* You'll have access to the on-site sauna and indoor swimming pool here. They're shared with the building's other residents
* One of the balconies is currently fairly open to neighbouring views – plants are being added over time to improve privacy, but it may feel more exposed than the photos suggest.
* While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find communal washing machines and dryers within the building.
* A complimentary mid-stay cleaning service is included for stays of 14 nights or more.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair at no additional cost. You'll need to request them in advance.
* A car will serve you well here. The centre of Les Houches is a two-minute drive and Chamonix is about ten minutes.
