Château des Rubins stands in Sallanches (Haute-Savoie), in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Adult admission costs 7.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on October 21, 2026.

In Sallanches, the château des Rubins now houses a space dedicated to the Alps, where the old stone building frames a fully renovated scientific exhibition. Visitors move through several floors covering the formation of glaciers and mountain ranges, alpine wildlife and plants, human settlement in the mountains, and climate change. The design combines interactive displays with sound and light, far from a conventional heritage visit.

What to know

The indoor exhibition takes about two hours to visit.
A lift and dedicated access allow visitors with reduced mobility to visit, on request.
A car park is located about 100 metres from the château, near Le Lévaud.
The site is roughly 45 minutes by car from Annecy or Geneva, and 1 hour 10 minutes from Chambéry.
Exhibition information is given in French, English and Italian.
