Location
Boasting only 374 permanent residents, the town of Finhaut is nestled in the St-Maurice district, on the left side of the deep Trient Valley. Finhaut is famous for its colossal dam, which is prized by trekkers, fishing enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
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.
