Facing the Mont-Blanc, the sunny terraces of the town harbours three more villages,
namely Giétroz, Châtelard Villlage-and-Châtelard Frontier. Sharing a common border
with France, Finhaut is adjacent to Trient, Salvan, Vallorcine (F) and Sixt (F). Its territory
stretches from the shores of Trento and the Black Water to 900 meters to the top of the
tip of the Finive to 2837 meters. It comprises 2,293 hectares consisting mainly of dense
forests, alpine horizons and sharp rocks.
A TREASURE LIES WITHIN
Finhaut was a major alpine resort in the early 20th century, although the town is now
better known for its preserved natural heritage, its dinosaur tracks, dams with a panoramic
view over the Mont Blanc, the world's steepest two-cabin funicular and its built heritage
have been given national importance status.
