The winter sports resort of Montriond, in Haute-Savoie, near Avoriaz, is located in the heart of the Chablais massif.
It presents all the charms of a resort-village by being also integrated into the cross-border area of Portes du Soleil which brings together 12 resorts in France and Switzerland (such as Morzine or Les Gets, in particular), linked together either by shuttles, or by common lifts. This represents in total a potential of 307 slopes and 600 km of skiing!
