Snow comes naturally to us

The mountains are king at Leman Mountains Explore. And with good reason: superb, authentic village resorts.

While all are human-sized, each resort has its own identity. Thollon-les-Mémises offers slopes with breathtaking views of Lake Geneva. Abondance offers the charm of a typical Haute-Savoie village, with the first slopes only 300m away. Bernex with its Dent d’Oche joins the previous two to form the vast Leman Mountains Explore domain. Not far away, La Chapelle d’Abondance is the gateway to the Portes du Soleil, the world’s largest cross-border ski area!
