If you’ve skied in France in the winter, you’ve probably visited the Savoie Mont Blanc region.
It covers the area of France adjacent to Lake Geneva (Lac Leman) – including the Portes du Soleil, Grand Massif and Chamonix ski areas – as far west as Aix-Les-Bains and Chambery and south through the Tarentaise (Les 3 Vallees and Espace Killy) and the Maurienne valley.
