From the natural balcony of Thollon Les Memises, you can gaze out over Lake Geneva and the Jura Alps as you carve through snow that is often cold and pleasant to the touch. Renting a snowboard in Thollon Les Memises is the ideal way to take advantage of a human-sized ski area, with varied slopes accessible right from the gondola and a panorama that motivates as much as it motivates the skiers.

The climate, influenced by the lake, can change quickly: clear skies in the morning, clouds and breezes at the summit in the afternoon. After a snowfall, the first few hours are magical, especially in January-February when temperatures remain low. In spring, opt for an early start to take advantage of firmer snow that softens in the sun.
