Les Contamines-Montjoie
Les Contamines-Montjoie () is a commune in the Haute-Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France.

History In 1760 the parish became independent of the parish of Saint-Nicolas de Véroce. Creation of the local Mountain Guides Company which was established in 1850, marked the first corporation in the village dedicated to tourism. Further development surged after 1900, in the form of hotels, restaurants, and, in 1911, a local ski club. The first ski lift began operation in 1937. After World War II, in 1949, the name was changed to ''Les Contamines-Montjoie.'' The first chair lift opened three years later, in 1952, along with a summer attraction at l'Etape.
