2,200 inhabitants (known as "Lugrinois")
Surface area: 13.22 km²
Altitude: 373 to 1,244 metres
Both a lakeside district, bordering Lake Léman for 6 kilometres, and a mountain district, with its altitude varying between 373 metres at the lakeshore to 1,244 metres at the summit of Mont Bénand. Lugrin is located 5 kilometres east of Evian-les-Bains and less than 10 kilometres from the Swiss border. The district presents a succession of terraces dominated by the first foothills of the Alps (the Pic des Mémises, rising to 1,625 metres), making the area especially attractive, with a great diversity of landscapes.
Lugrin is a special holiday spot, offering, in the summer, all the pleasures of the lake and mountains (swimming, sailing, fishing, diving, hiking, rock climbing, paragliding, mountain biking, etc.). During the winter, the nearby ski resorts are only 10 minutes away.
