About Cordon
Cordon: A Balcony Village Above the Arve Valley
Cordon sits at roughly 1,000 metres elevation in Haute-Savoie, France, on a south-facing terrace above the Arve Valley. The village faces Mont Blanc directly — the 4,808-metre summit is visible from most hotel terraces without obstruction. That unbroken panorama draws photographers and hikers who want proximity to the Mont Blanc Massif without the crowds of nearby Chamonix, 20 km to the southeast.
Where to Stay and Getting Around
Accommodation in Cordon centres on family-run chalets and mid-scale hotels along the Route du Mont Blanc. The village sits within the Espace Diamant ski domain, linked to Les Contamines and Megève — roughly 192 km of marked pistes in total. In summer, the GR Tour du Mont Blanc long-distance trail passes within a few kilometres, making Cordon a practical base for multi-day hikers.
Practical Tips
- Getting there: The nearest rail station is Sallanches, 7 km downhill, with TER connections to Geneva (1 hr) and Lyon (2.5 hrs).
- Season: Summer hiking runs June–September; ski season typically December–March.
- Altitude: Pack layers — temperatures drop 6 °C per 1,000 m gained on surrounding trails.
