Chamonix and the Mont Blanc range are an hour’s drive from
Talloires. In the 18th century Chamonix came into fame with the development of
tourism, skiing and alpinism, and in 1924 the town organized the
first Winter Olympics.
In the opposite direction, visitors can drive to
Albertville, site of the 1992 Winter Olympic Games, or visit
the medieval village of Conflans, the monastery in Tamié, the ski
resort of Val d'Isére, or tour a vineyard. Talloires is just an
hour's drive from both Switzerland and Italy and a 3+
hour train ride from Paris.
