In short. 7 webcams in Les Houches, and the 7-day forecast for the village (1,008 m) and Prarion (1,900 m), identical to the resort page. The views are images refreshed by their operators: the capture time is shown on the image or at the source.

Understanding the conditions

Which webcam to check in Les Houches?

This page brings together 7 views: Bellevue · vue vallée (1,800 m), Les Houches Vallée de Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Les Houches - Prarion and Blue Ice, and 3 more views.

Village, Prarion and Bellevue

The resort’s reference village is at 1,008 m and the catalogue takes the Prarion (1,900 m) as the highest point of the ski area. One view is from Bellevue, on the route of the Tramway du Mont-Blanc (the Mont Blanc rack railway): it gives an idea of the visibility over the valley from the resort’s slopes.

Not to be confused with Chamonix

Les Houches lies at the entrance to the valley, several kilometres from Chamonix. Conditions there can differ from those in the centre of Chamonix or at the Aiguille du Midi: check the corresponding pages to compare.

Chamonix-Mont-Blanc webcams

Webcam, snow or resort page: which page answers which question?

This page is for checking the sky and visibility. The resort page brings together the forecast, access and practical information for planning a visit. None of these views confirms that a slope or a lift is open.

Your questions

Before you go

Are the Les Houches webcams live?

The views are images refreshed by their operators, not a continuous video stream. How often they refresh depends on each operator (Compagnie du Mont-Blanc, Skaping and Windy.com Webcams): check the timestamp on the image.

Can a webcam tell me whether the slopes in Les Houches are open?

No. Snow on an image confirms neither that the slopes nor that the lifts are open. Use the piste map or the operator’s official report.

What is the weather forecast for Les Houches?

The 7-day forecast at the top of the page comes from the Open-Meteo model for the village (1,008 m) and Prarion (1,900 m). It is the same as on the resort page and the site’s map.

When does Les Houches open for the ski season?

The opening is announced for 19 December 2026 (provisional date). An announced date is not a guarantee: snow conditions and the operator decide, so check the official report shortly before you go.

Sources and method
