Passy

Passy lies along the Arve valley beneath the Fiz massif, with the Mont Blanc range rising across the valley in this part of Haute-Savoie. The commune extends from the valley floor to mountain pastures and includes Plateau d’Assy, once known for its high-altitude sanatoriums. Notre-Dame-de-Toute-Grâce church is a notable work of 20th-century sacred art: built during the 1930s and 1940s, it contains contributions by Fernand Léger, Marc Chagall and Henri Matisse. Lac de Passy forms a calmer counterpoint to the steep slopes, while local paths lead towards the surrounding Alpine terrain.
