INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT

Montriond is an authentic French mountain village as opposed to a purpose-built ski resort and the nearest ski lift is the Ardent which is just 10 minutes away by car or by ski bus. The town recently welcomed a microbrewery, the Wood Yard, which is a great spot for enjoying an Ibex beer and unwinding. The resort has a supermarket and several bars and restaurants, including the popular Hotel du Lac which overlooks the lake.

HISTORY

The history of Montriond is deeply intertwined with the Alpine region's rich past. Originally a farming village, it has evolved over centuries but retains its authentic charm and heritage. Montriond's transformation began in the early 20th century when it started to attract outdoor enthusiasts for its pristine natural beauty and skiing potential. Over the years, it has managed to preserve its historical essence while embracing the influx of tourists and new residents.

THE VILLAGE TODAY

Today, Montriond is a vibrant community that caters to a wide range of interests. Beyond its exceptional skiing and snowboarding opportunities, the area is renowned for its summer activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and swimming in the crystal-clear waters of Lac de Montriond. The natural park around the Dereches River is a particularly beautiful spot for a walk or bike ride and there are outdoor exercise machines for some al fresco fitness. The river leads to Morzine where you’ll find a skate park and tennis courts. Montriond’s proximity to the Pointe de Nantaux invites the adventurous at heart to challenge themselves with the vertical kilometre trail run.
