Val Montjoie, Hanging and U-shaped valley in Les Contamines-Montjoie and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains, France.
Val Montjoie extends through a glacial formation at 1000 meters elevation, connecting Les Contamines-Montjoie with Saint-Gervais-les-Bains in the French Alps.
The valley's development began in 1946 when Placide Mollard installed the first ski lift, marking the start of organized winter activities in the region.
The valley hosts traditional Alpine festivals throughout the year, where local residents maintain mountain customs through music, food, and community gatherings.
Multiple hiking trails span the valley's length, providing direct access to both Les Contamines-Montjoie and Saint-Gervais-les-Bains throughout all seasons.
The valley forms part of a natural corridor where cyclists can ride from thermal springs to Mont-Joly's summit, passing through Notre Dame de la Gorge.
