Cohennoz: Boetet - Espace Diamant - Les Saisies
Few places in the French Alps have a history as closely tied to high-mountain pasture farming as Cohennoz. The commune rises from the slopes above the Val d’Arly toward the Col des Saisies, a broad pass where Savoyard grazing land meets the Les Saisies resort. Les Saisies belongs to the Espace Diamant ski area, linking its slopes with nearby Crest-Voland, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe and Praz-sur-Arly. The resort also has an Olympic connection: it hosted the Nordic events of the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics. Farm hamlets and timber-built Alpine architecture remain an important part of Cohennoz’s identity, alongside the roads, lifts and services of its mountain resort area.

Cohennoz straddles a mountain ridge above the Arly River in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, a position that has shaped it into a small alpine resort of the Val d’Arly. The commune is in Savoie, between the mountain centres of Megève and Les Saisies, with roads rising from the valley towards its scattered hamlets and lifts. Cohennoz belongs to Espace Diamant, an interlinked ski area shared by several resorts in the Val d’Arly and Beaufortain. During the warmer months, its slopes and mountain roads form part of the wider network used by walkers and cyclists in the Savoyard Alps.

Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is widely known in France for the French Alps, the major mountain chain along its eastern edge. This vast administrative region also extends west across the Massif Central and follows the Rhône valley, bringing together volcanic uplands, river corridors and major cities. Lyon, the regional capital, stands between the Rhône and Saône, and its historic centre is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Near these coordinates, northern Ardèche lies close to the wooded hills of the Pilat area, where the Rhône corridor forms a transition between upland country and valley settlements. Alpine cheeses and Rhône valley wines reflect the region’s varied terrain. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

The Atlantic and Mediterranean coastlines, together with the Alps, Pyrenees and broad river basins, define much of France — they support maritime trade, farming, wine regions and travel throughout the year. The Seine runs through Paris, where the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre are among Europe’s most recognised landmarks. The Loire Valley is known for Renaissance châteaux, while Mont-Saint-Michel rises from a tidal bay in Normandy. Regional food traditions are equally distinctive, from Breton seafood to Provençal cooking, with bread, cheese and wine central to everyday life. France’s global cultural influence is evident in its language, literature, fashion and cinema.
