Vitality score
Vitality score 70.9/100 — Served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: medium (sources disagree on Bakery (boulangerie)).
Better served than 99 % of the 10,542 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.
Measured but not scored in this model: Market. See the methodology for why.

Climate
Where this sits nationally
An average of 0 days a year at or above 30 °C and 99 days at or below 0 °C, over 15 complete years in 1995–2024. [10]
Measured at the MERIBEL BURGIN weather station, 5.5 km away at 2,040 m; the village itself is at 1,109 m. [10]
The village sits 931 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. [10]
An average of 859 mm of rain a year, spread over 107 days — about 8 mm on a day it rains. [10]
Rainfall measured at BRIDES LES BAIN, 2.8 km away at 600 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [10]
What property sold for
89 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 1,240,000 € — 9,554 € per m² of built surface. [11]
742 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 364,000 € — 9,755 € per m². [11]
The median across Savoie is 2,827 € per m², so this commune sits above it. [11]
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.
