Montricher-Albanne

Among the settlements of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Montricher-Albanne stands out for linking old Maurienne hamlets with the alpine resort of Les Karellis. The commune occupies mountain slopes above the Arc valley in the French Alps, where roads climb from the valley floor towards forests and open pasture. Les Karellis is its best-known modern focal point, bringing skiing and summer walking to an area otherwise defined by small highland communities. Montricher and Albanne retain the scale of traditional settlement, while the wider Maurienne has long been an important route through the Alps towards Italy.
