We live in Annecy, 1hr 20mins from Les Contamines. I'm an Environmental Consultant and my wife's a GP. We first came to Les Contamines-Montjoie in 1999, introduced by a French friend who grew up here, and we fell in love with the place for its atmosphere, charm and the great skiing & boarding.
We have three children: two boys aged 15 & 13 and a 8 year old girl. We spend as much time as we can in Les Contamines, including most of the summer and winter school holidays.
