Montriond is Morzine's quieter neighbour — the same skiing, a calmer village, and a glacial lake that gives it a summer life of its own. It sits in the Vallée d'Aulps minutes from Morzine, within Les Portes du Soleil, and connects into the Avoriaz side of the domain via the Ardent gondola.
For UK buyers, Montriond offers Morzine-area access at a lower-key, more residential village price. The Lac de Montriond makes it one of the few Portes du Soleil addresses with a genuine year-round draw, and that shows up directly in the rental calendar.
A Short History
Montriond is a traditional Savoyard village in the Vallée d'Aulps, and for most of its history it was a farming community in the shadow of the slate-trading town of Morzine next door. Its defining feature is natural rather than architectural: the Lac de Montriond, a glacial lake of about 33 hectares ringed by limestone cliffs and conifer forest, long known as the "green lake" for its colour. When the Portes du Soleil took shape from the 1960s, Montriond gained ski access through the Ardent sector without losing its quieter, residential character — and that contrast with bustling Morzine is precisely what defines it today.
The Resort
Montriond village sits low in the valley a few minutes from Morzine, with the Lac de Montriond at around 1,050 metres just above it. Ski access is via the Ardent gondola, which departs at around 1,205m and links through the Les Lindarets "goat village" into the Avoriaz sector and the wider domain — terrain rising to about 2,350m. The village itself is not slope-side; it functions as a calm valley base with quick lift access rather than a ski-in/ski-out centre. Les Gets and Châtel are a short drive across the domain.
Where to Buy — The Areas of Montriond
Montriond runs from the valley floor up toward the lake and the Ardent lift, and the choice is mostly about whether you prioritise the village, the lakeside or quick lift access.
The village and valley floor
The traditional centre, close to Morzine's amenities and the easiest day-to-day base. Characterful resale chalets and the resort's new-build apartment programmes sit here.
Towards the lake
Addresses near the Lac de Montriond carry a premium for the setting and the summer appeal — the strongest pockets for dual-season rental and for buyers who value the year-round draw.
Ardent and the higher hamlets
Closer to the gondola, favoured by skiers wanting the quickest morning access to the Avoriaz side, usually with open valley views.
Buyers comparing villages should also look at Morzine next door and the wider Portes du Soleil market.
The Skiing
Montriond's skiing is the Avoriaz side of the Portes du Soleil, reached via the Ardent gondola and the Les Lindarets bowl — around 75 kilometres of linked terrain on that flank alone, part of the domain's 650 kilometres across 12 resorts on a single pass. The Lindarets and Avoriaz sectors suit intermediates particularly well, with the full cross-border circuit and the higher, snow-sure Swiss sectors a lift-ride away.
Because the village sits in the valley, Montriond owners treat the Ardent gondola as their access point rather than skiing from the door — the trade for a quieter, lower-priced base than the slope-side resorts.
The Property Market
Montriond's new-build market is small but active. Current developer pricing data (Q2 2026) runs from around €405,000 for a one-bedroom to just under €1 million for a four-bedroom, averaging roughly €7,900 per square metre, with two-bedroom apartments — half of current supply — between €469,000 and €860,000. Two programmes are selling in the village; the full breakdown is in the table below.
Resale sits a little lower, with apartments around €5,200 per square metre and chalets nearer €7,400 per square metre on current benchmarks — generally below comparable Morzine stock for the same domain access, which is the heart of Montriond's value case. UK buyers can model monthly costs in sterling with our French mortgage calculator.
Rental demand is genuinely dual-season, and the lake is the reason: winter access to the full Portes du Soleil, and a summer trade built on swimming, watersports and the Pass'Portes du Soleil mountain-bike weekend. That lifts annual occupancy beyond winter-only resorts.
Eat & Drink in Montriond
Montriond shares Morzine's dining scene on its doorstep while keeping a quieter table of its own.
Around the village and lake
- Lakeside dining — restaurants by the Lac de Montriond make the most of the setting in summer.
- Savoyard classics — fondue, raclette and tartiflette in the village's traditional restaurants and the mountain stops at Les Lindarets.
- Morzine on the doorstep — the full range of Morzine's bars, bakeries and restaurants is minutes away.
Lifestyle & Activities Beyond Skiing
Montriond's summer is a real part of the ownership case, not an afterthought.
Summer
- Lac de Montriond — swimming, paddleboarding, a lakeside walk and nearby waterfalls; the default family summer afternoon.
- Les Lindarets goat village — free-roaming goats among mountain-pasture restaurants, reached on foot or by lift.
- Mountain biking — Montriond–Les Lindarets is a Pass'Portes du Soleil departure point within one of the world's largest bike areas.
- Hiking — valley and ridge trails, with summer lifts opening the higher routes.
Winter beyond the pistes
- Snowshoeing and winter walks around the frozen lake and the quiet valley flanks, with Morzine's pool and ice rink minutes away.
Family appeal
A calm village, the lake, and Morzine's amenities on the doorstep make Montriond a strong family base for owners who want both seasons rather than peak-week skiing alone.
Accessibility
Geneva Airport is about 80 kilometres away, roughly 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 by road — the same straightforward approach as neighbouring Morzine, and one of the shortest transfers to any major linked domain. Direct UK flights to Geneva make weekend use realistic.
Why Buy in Montriond
Montriond suits the buyer who wants Morzine's skiing and a calmer, lower-key village, with a lake that delivers a genuine summer and a broader rental calendar. The village is not slope-side, so the Ardent gondola is your access point rather than the front door — but for buyers who value peace, a four-season setting and value relative to Morzine within the same great domain, Montriond is one of the most appealing addresses in the Portes du Soleil.

FAQs
Questions About Montriond.
What are property prices in Montriond?
New-build apartments run from around €405,000 for a one-bedroom to just under €1 million for a four-bedroom, averaging roughly €7,900 per square metre, with two-bedroom units (€469,000–€860,000) making up half of current supply. Resale is lower, with apartments around €5,200 per square metre and chalets nearer €7,400 — generally below comparable Morzine stock.
What skiing does Montriond give access to?
Montriond connects via the Ardent gondola into the Avoriaz side of the Portes du Soleil — around 75km of linked terrain on that flank, part of the domain's 650km across 12 French and Swiss resorts on one pass. The Lindarets and Avoriaz sectors suit intermediates particularly well.
Is Montriond good for rental income?
Yes, and unusually it is genuinely dual-season. Winter brings full Portes du Soleil access, while the Lac de Montriond drives a real summer trade — swimming, watersports and the Pass'Portes du Soleil mountain-bike weekend. That lifts annual occupancy beyond winter-only resorts.
How far is Montriond from Geneva Airport?
About 80 kilometres, roughly 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 by road — the same approach as neighbouring Morzine, and one of the shortest transfers to any major linked ski domain.
How does Montriond compare to Morzine?
Montriond shares Morzine's skiing but is quieter, more residential and generally lower-priced, with a glacial lake that gives it a stronger summer. Morzine is the larger, livelier town with more nightlife and amenity on the doorstep. Many buyers choose Montriond for the calmer setting at better value.
Should I buy a new-build or resale property in Montriond?
New-build offers modern energy standards and low maintenance, with two programmes currently selling in the village. Resale can offer established lakeside or village positions and more character, often at a lower price per square metre. The right answer depends on delivery timing, budget and how you plan to use the home.
Is Montriond a good place for families?
Yes. A calm village, the lake for summer, gentle access to the Avoriaz side of the domain, and Morzine's amenities minutes away make it a strong family base — particularly for owners who want to use the property across both seasons.
