By car:
Les Houches are easily accessible from France (A41 highway),
from Switzerland (Martigny and Col des Montets) and from Italy
through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
From Geneva and Le Fayet: 8km before Chamonix, 300 m after
passing under the tunnel, bear right by the first road out
for "Les Houches Bellevue". When arriving at the cable car
station "Bellevue", turn right and continue upwards (roughly
2 km starting from the cable car). 500m after the cable car
station "Prarion", turn left and follow small arrows at crossroads.
Continue up to the end of Route de la Côte des Chavants. Here you are!
From Chamonix: bear right for "Les Houches-Chef-Lieu", turn right in
Les Houches, go ahead at the cable car station "Bellevue".
Then proceed as above.
Cars may be rented from Geneva and from Chamonix, but it is useful
to make reservations.
