The verdict
The Hôtel du Bois is the address the tourist office highlights in Les Houches for its pool. It is a 43-room three-star, 7 km from Chamonix, designed for families.
Its Google rating of 4.3 from more than 500 reviews praises the welcome and the pool more than the decor.
On site
A large heated pool where you can really swim, a sauna and a garden where children can run around. The restaurant serves traditional, homemade cooking for the whole family.
Our advice
Les Houches has its own ski area, easy for beginners, and a lift pass separate from Chamonix's. Take half board if you do not want to get back in the car in the evening.
