Les Avants is also a winter resort in the Vaud Pre-alps. It hosted the first Ice Hockey European Championship, in 1910.
Ernest Hemingway relates in A Moveable Feast that he used to winter in Les Avants when he lived in Paris in the 1920s.
The village gives its name to the Chemin de fer Les Avants – Sonloup. Opened in 1901 as the first stage of the Montreux-Oberland Bernois, it connects Montreux to Les Avants and Sonloup, 0.5 km (0.31 mi) to the northwest. The village was home to the world-famous opera singer Dame Joan Sutherland and her husband, the conductor Richard Bonynge." - (en.wikipedia.org 09.11.2021) - Latitude
