  Montmin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the winter, Montmin's small ski lifts are known as a good place for beginning and intermediate skiers; many of the villagers are certified ski instructors, and many children of the Annecy and Faverges area first learned to ski in Montmin.
Montmin's principal claim to fame is as the starting point of several popular hiking trails, including the scenic climb up Mt. Tournette, the tallest of the mountains overlooking Lake Annecy.
At the dawn of the 21st century, Montmin's population is beginning to grow again as the village finds a new role as a dormitory for the cities of Annecy and Faverges, though it retains much of its rustic charm.

 La Tournette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Experienced hill-walkers wanting a stiff but straightforward mountain ascent could tackle La Tournette (2351m), which dominates the east side of the lake with its patchy snowfields and crenellated summits.
A road just north of Talloires crosses the Col de la Forclaz, doubles back to the left before the hamlet of MONTMIN, and ends in a steep but drivable track up to the Col de l'Aulp, less than 1000m from the summit.
From the col, the climb is immediate, steep and clear, leading to a refuge, where late snow and increasing exposure demand extra care.

 Trip Report 09
But on Thursday, Ralph realized his ambition of leaping off a 2000-foot cliff and flying: he went hang-gliding with a very skilled pilot, Noël Veyrat, who has already chalked up over 10,000 flights.
After morning classes, we went up to the village of Montmin, site of a wonderful view over the lake, and one of the premier hang-gliding spots in Europe.
