Vitality score
Vitality score 59.4/100 — Partly served (model fr-v0.2).
Confidence: high.
Better served than 41 % of the 1,497 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 20 days a year at or above 30 °C and 61 days at or below 0 °C, over 26 complete years in 1995–2024. [11]
Measured at the ARCHAMPS weather station, 4.8 km away at 560 m; the village itself is at 461 m. [11]
The village sits 99 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]
An average of 1,157 mm of rain a year, spread over 120 days — about 9.6 mm on a day it rains. [11]
Rainfall measured at ARCHAMPS, 4.8 km away at 560 m. Rainfall is not adjusted for altitude: unlike temperature it has no simple gradient to correct by. [11]
What property sold for
131 houses sold between 2021 and 2025, at a median of 600,000 € — 5,188 € per m² of built surface. [12]
1,029 flats sold over the same window, at a median of 282,900 € — 4,577 € per m². [12]
The median across Haute-Savoie is 4,214 € per m², so this commune sits above 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.
