Montriond

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 little 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 snow and on wooden elements hidden along the way.

Montriond is also home to one of the longest runs in the Portes du Soleil: the Abricotine runs for almost 8km 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 go for a walk: even under the snow, it’s still accessible for a short stroll in a great northern atmosphere between the frozen lake and the spruce forests.

Montriond is an ideal holiday destination. With its lake, waterfalls and hiking trails, Montriond lake offers easy walks and water sports activities in a peaceful setting. A little higher up, the village of Lindarets is a must for families who come here to discover a real hamlet with its wooden chalets and mountain pastures. An abundance of goats has given this hamlet its name, the “village of goats”. Like the holidaymakers, they have come here to spend a summer strolling around. Children will be delighted to feed the free-roaming, hungry and curious goats. An ideal gastronomic stop-off point, it is also the starting point for a number of hikes.

From Les Lindarets, mountain bikers can hop on their bikes to follow the various trails and take the chairlifts to the Portes du Soleil resorts. For walkers, there are numerous footpaths criss-crossing the mountain and leading to sumptuous viewpoints such as the Brochaux waterfall and the Pointe des Mossettes.
