Large free parking at La Sambuy mountain station (1200 m elevation). Spacious layout, very quiet after 6 PM, stunning views of Mont-Blanc and Lake Annecy. Toilets open overnight. Active family-friendly hub with summer luge, paragliding, via ferrata, and varied hiking. On-site restaurant (L'Avalanche). Chairlift recently closed (September 2024). Long winding access road required.
