Taninges

Among the towns of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Taninges stands out for its setting in the Giffre valley below the Praz de Lys–Sommand plateau. The River Giffre places the town within the mountain country of Haute-Savoie, between the Arve valley and the higher slopes leading towards the Grand Massif. The Chartreuse de Mélan, a Carthusian monastery founded in 1285, recalls Taninges’ medieval religious heritage. Praz de Lys–Sommand adds both alpine and cross-country skiing in winter, while the surrounding roads and paths open the area in warmer months.
