CGH Le Hameau de Pierre Blanche

We spent 7 days at this residence and had a lovely time. The staff were incredibly warm and friendly throughout our stay. The location is excellent—just a few minutes' walk to the children’s ski school and the Prarion gondola. We also appreciated the parking flexibility, with free outdoor spots behind the hotel or the option to rent a space in the underground garage. Our apartment was well-equipped, especially the kitchen and bathroom, making it perfect for traveling with a child. We also had a beautiful mountain view from our window. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi were a big hit with our family! The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because of an issue on our first day. We were initially placed in the Quartz building, where there was a very unpleasant smell, like a blocked drain. However, the staff moved us to an apartment in Opale Blanche, which was fantastic and had no issues at all. Had we stayed in the odor-free room from the start, this would have been a definite 5-star experience. Overall, we would still recommend it for a ski holiday!

Our chalet is wonderful - clean, well equipped, warm, very comfy beds. Managers Freddie and Linda have been extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Fabulous gym and pool, sauana and steam room on site. All done superbly.

Clear view of Mont Blanc.

It was a one-week long stay with a group of colleagues (8 total). Usually we rent the same chalet in Chamonix but this year it wasn’t available because of renovation so I looked for alternatives in the valley. This property in Les Houches is very spacious and well maintained although the bathrooms would benefit from renovation. The facilities on-site were great (sauna, pool, etc.) The location is quiet and remote. There is a very easy rock climbing area (good for children) about 5min walking. And some sports facilities. There were people playing tennis outside until sunset but it wasn’t too noisy. Things to keep in mind: (i) the laundry on-site is expensive which isn’t usual for chalets in Chamonix - it’s typically included; (ii) the location is 2km away from the center of Les Houches - if you’re without a car prepare to walk 8min from the bus stop Le Prarion or 15min from the train stop Viaduc Ste Marie (Google Maps don’t know the trail to go there!); (iii) the nearest grocery store is also 2.5km away.
