Welcome to Les Contamines-Montjoie

Located in southeastern France in the Haute-Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Les Contamines-Montjoie lies at the upper end of the Montjoie Valley, where the steep western slopes of the Mont Blanc range meet long forested ridgelines. A quiet accommodation stands near the village centre, close to paths that lead toward the natural reserve of Les Contamines and follow the valley floor between the Bon Nant river and open meadows. Walking routes rise through spruce forests to viewpoints overlooking the Dômes de Miage, while cyclists follow mountain roads linking the lower hamlets with the approaches to Notre-Dame de la Gorge. A modest holiday apartment blends into clusters of chalets marking the transition between cultivated land and higher alpine terraces. Trails heading toward the Col du Joly reveal glacial shelves, grassy plateaus and wide panoramas across the Beaufortain range. This varied terrain encourages steady exploration across shifting elevations.
