The Mountain Museum

PERMANENT EXHIBITION
Since 1977, the Musée Montagnard has been housed in one of the oldest houses in the town center of Les Houches. Through thematic rooms and three reconstructed rooms of the traditional habitat, it presents a collection of objects used in the past in the Chamonix valley for agropastoral tasks and daily life. Two rooms house the temporary exhibition, which is renewed every year.

TEMPORARY EXHIBITION from December 26, 2024 to May 16, 2025
"Cable cars and company

At the beginning of the 20th century, access to the mountains opened up to as many people as possible. In Les Houches, the Bellevue cable car was built in 1936, followed by other installations throughout the commune. Take a look at their history in the exhibition.

Between the two world wars, the summer season was joined by a winter season with the development of snow sports. The first ski lifts were built.
In Les Houches, the Bellevue cable car was built in 1936, followed by other installations throughout the commune. Follow the story of these installations in the temporary exhibition, featuring photographs, documents and personal accounts.
