Le Biot: Col du Corbier
Col du Corbier lies on the ridge between the Vallée d’Aulps and the Vallée du Brevon in Haute-Savoie, a position that has made it a road link between Le Biot and Bellevaux. At 1,237 metres in the Chablais Alps, the pass is surrounded by pastureland, wooded slopes and a compact cluster of mountain buildings. It developed as a small ski resort during the second half of the 20th century, but its lifts ceased operating in 2012. Open grazing ground still alternates with forest here, reflecting the traditional Alpine use of this steep terrain. The road connects the two valleys within the wider Savoyard mountain country south of Lake Geneva.

The landscape around Le Biot is a steep, forested Alpine valley, which has shaped both the village’s compact form and its long pastoral economy. Set in the Vallée d’Aulps of Haute-Savoie, the commune lies above the Dranse de Morzine, amid slopes that lead towards the Col du Corbier. Mountain farming remains part of the area’s identity, notably through Abondance, the regional cow’s-milk cheese protected by an AOP designation. Le Biot makes a quiet base for exploring the valleys and high passes between Lake Geneva and the French 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.
