Hiking enthusiasts, put on your snowshoes and get off the beaten track to discover the region and the richness of its fauna and flora by following in the footsteps of chamois, foxes and other ibexes that inhabit the mountains. Between the landscapes of spruce forests and the immaculate white horizon, the panoramas are

The conditions of our stay were not the most favourable but all the activities other than skiing allowed us to spend a pleasant stay (snowshoeing, hang-gliding, hiking, etc...). The good products of the region allowed us to make nice and tasty meals (the "Maison des Alpes").

As there are no ski lifts, it was an opportunity to discover cross-country skiing in Les Contamines, and to do some superb hiking and skiing.

Mountain restaurant "L'Edelweiss", next to the church: good welcome and excellent Savoyard fondue, different from the usual standard. Let's go.
