Among the communes of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Étaux stands out for its rural Haute-Savoie setting above the Arve valley. The commune lies north of La Roche-sur-Foron, where farmland, wooded slopes and scattered hamlets meet the expanding urban belt between Annecy and Geneva. The Arve flows through the valley below and continues west towards its confluence with the Rhône in Geneva. Nearby La Roche-sur-Foron retains a medieval town centre, reflecting the long market-town tradition of this part of Savoy. The Bornes massif forms part of the wider Alpine setting.
