Montalbert (1350m) is a village situated on the flanks of Mont Jovet, a 2558m peak overlooking the Tarentaise (Isere) valley in Savoie, a department of the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region. It was originally a farming hamlet, but since the first lifts were built in the 1970s, it has evolved into a dedicated holiday resort. It now has few permanent residents, with most seasonal workers preferring to live in other nearby settlements, such as Longefoy.
