Resort Description

Opposite Mont Blanc, the ski resort of Passy Plaine-Joux has managed to preserve it's charms despite modern progress, with authentic mountain chalets, tree covered mountains and views of the Mont-Blanc.

This sunny ski area, which has a snow canon to ensure good snow cover, is great for all the family, with 6 ski lifts, 12 kilometres of runs and a separate children's beginner area. The resort also has 8 kilometres of cross-country ski tracks and trails for snow-shoe outings.

It is conveniently situated just 40 minutes from Geneva and the international airport.


The church Eglise Notre Dame de Toute Grâce is a masterpiece of modern Art sacré and has been decorated by many grand masters from the middle of the twentieth century.

The church on the plateau d'Assy is a key monument in the revival movement of art sacré in the 20th century, and was founded by canon Devémy for the sanatorium's population housed on Passy's higher plains as from the 1920s.

The monument, designed by Maurice Novarina evokes the robust Savoyard mountain chalets constructed from stone and wood. The architect finished off the building with a bell placed 28 m above the ground which directs one's gaze to it and then over to the Fiz mountains beyond.
