Among the mountain communes of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Saint-Colomban-des-Villards stands out for its setting in the Vallée des Villards, where the Glandon flows down from high Alpine country. The village lies in Savoie’s Maurienne area below the Col du Glandon, an important Alpine pass linked by road to the Col de la Croix de Fer. Its parish church is dedicated to Saint Columbanus. In winter, Saint-Colomban-des-Villards is connected to the Les Sybelles ski domain; during warmer months, local roads and paths lead towards the surrounding passes.
