Montriond: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Lac de Montriond is a geotope in the Chablais UNESCO Global Geopark. The lake was formed by a major landslide from the Nantaux area that occurred before 1550. Cascade d'Ardent is located above Lac de Montriond, halfway between the lake and Les Lindarets.

Those who choose Montriond for their stay want to rent a holiday apartment.
