Albiez-Montrond

Albiez-Montrond is a ski resort in the Savoie region with slopes of varying difficulty at an elevation around 1500 meters. The area includes marked trails for both downhill and cross-country skiing, served by multiple lifts.

This area became an independent municipality in 1972 and soon developed as a winter sports destination. The establishment marked the beginning of organized skiing in this Alpine valley.

The village maintains connections to mountain life through regional food and the way locals use the slopes as part of their daily rhythm. Visitors can experience how the community interacts with its snowy landscape throughout the year.

The resort is most accessible during winter when snow coverage is stable and facilities are fully operational. Visitors should come prepared with warm clothing and appropriate gear, or arrange rentals upon arrival.

The resort offers dog sledding excursions through the Alps, an experience that stands out from typical slope activities. Guided snowshoe trips let visitors explore the quieter mountain landscape beyond the main ski areas.
