Talloires-Montmin

Around Talloires-Montmin, the terrain rises sharply from Lake Annecy’s shore to the wooded limestone slopes of La Tournette, which has shaped both the settlement pattern and the local economy. The commune joins lakeside Talloires with higher mountain hamlets around Montmin, where roads climb towards the Col de la Forclaz. Sailing and swimming animate the lake in summer, while the pass is a well-known paragliding launch site. Talloires also preserves the former Benedictine Abbey of Talloires, founded in 1018, recalling the settlement’s long presence on this Alpine shore.
