Les Contamines-Montjoie is best known in Haute-Savoie for the Notre-Dame de la Gorge sanctuary, a Baroque church at the head of the Val Montjoie. The Bon Nant river runs through this alpine valley below the Mont Blanc massif, where pastureland, forests and high mountain slopes shape the commune’s setting. Les Contamines-Montjoie also lies on the Tour du Mont Blanc, the long-distance route circling the Mont Blanc range through France, Italy and Switzerland. Its protected nature reserve preserves a substantial stretch of the upper valley. See how Les Contamines-Montjoie fits within the wider Mont Blanc area by browsing webcams nearby.
