The old goat village of Les Lindarets. A village popular in winter for its snow and in summer for its goats! A genuine bygone world with its ancient chalets, Alpine meadows and of course its celebrated goats. With goats galore roaming the pathways, it’s an incredible sight. Les Lindarets is also celebrated for its great food and restaurants. Many serving up menus full of popular Savoyard dishes and local specialities. So why not make time for lunch on the village's many sun terraces so you can enjoy a meal packed with flavours harking back to times gone by. And all this on Chalet Romand's doorstep no more than 10 minutes drive.
