Montriond

Montriond is an ideal holiday destination. With its lake, waterfalls and hiking trails, the Lac de Montriond offers easy walks and water sports activities in a soothing setting. A little higher up, the village of Les Lindarets: a must for families who come here to discover a real hamlet with its wooden chalets and mountain pastures. An abundant goat population has led to the hamlet being dubbed the “village of goats”. Like holidaymakers, they’ve come here to spend a summer strolling around. Children will be delighted to feed these free-roaming, hungry and curious goats. An ideal gastronomic stopover, it’s also the starting point for numerous hikes.

Mountain bikers can set off from Les Lindarets on their mountain bikes to follow the various circuits and take the chairlifts to the Portes du Soleil ski resorts. For pedestrians, there are numerous footpaths criss-crossing the mountain, leading to sumptuous viewpoints such as the Brochaux waterfall or the Pointe des Mossettes.

Montriond, a sports resort in the heart of the Portes du Soleil, has direct access to the ski areas of Avoriaz 1800, Châtel and Les Crosets (in Switzerland). Take to the slopes of the Avoriaz 1800 ski area and discover the famous village of Les Lindarets, a charming hamlet of old chalets buried under the snow, for a gastronomic break on the slopes! In the heart of the Lindarets forest, “The Stash” snowpark is a 100% natural and safe place for the whole family to ride, in powder and on wooden elements hidden along the way.

Montriond is also home to one of the Portes du Soleil’s longest slopes: the Abricotine, which runs for almost 8 km from the ridges marking the border with Switzerland to the foot of the Ardent gondola.
Montriond is also famous for its lake below, so don’t hesitate to take a stroll there: even under the snow, it’s still accessible for a little stroll in a far-north atmosphere between the frozen lake and the spruce forests.
