Confidence: high.

Better served than 21 % of the 16,569 communes of a similar size.

Compare this with communes of a similar size. The score measures how well a place is served relative to its own size band, and larger communes score higher as a rule — so it reads meaningfully against another village, and misleadingly against a town.

Climate

Measured at the LA FECLAZ weather station, 8 km away at 1,350 m; the village itself is at 913 m. ^[11]

The village sits 437 m below the station, so each day's reading was shifted by 6.06 °C per km of altitude before the days were counted. Expect the result to be within about 0.68 °C. ^[11]

Muggy days — a dew point at or above 18 °C — average 0 days a summer. ^[11]

Humidity measured at FECLAZ_SAPC, 8.2 km away at 1,328 m, over 18 summers. ^[11]

That station sits 415 m above the village, so each day's humidity was shifted by 3.69 °C per km before the muggy days were counted. ^[11]

An average of 1,838 mm of rain a year, spread over 126 days — about 14.6 mm on a day it rains. ^[11]

Rainfall measured at AILLON LE JEUNE, 1.3 km away at 900 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. ^[11]

What property sold for

11 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 295,490 € — 2,561 € per m² of built surface. ^[12]

The median across Savoie is 2,827 € per m², so this commune sits about level with it. ^[12]

These are recorded sale prices, not valuations or asking prices, and a median over five years spans five different markets. Built surface excludes land, which carries much of a rural property's value.
