Nestled in the heart of the Maurienne valley in Savoie, the commune of Lanslebourg Mont Cenis is situated between the Vanoise National Park and the Italian border. It is a village of traditions, which seeks to preserve its heritage and share its customs with visitors. Lanslebourg is also a modern ski resort in the Val Cenis Vanoise area.
The people of Lanslebourg enjoy passing on the history of the village and its valley. Several places in the city are dedicated to its traditions as well as its past, very influenced by its proximity to Italy. Art lovers will not miss the Baroque Space, located in a completely renovated old church. There is an exhibition on Savoyard Baroque art as well as regional artists and the history of the valley. To go even further, visit the Pyramid Museum of Mont Cenis. True to its name, it was built in 1967 at an altitude of 2100 metres in the shape of a pyramid. It is entirely dedicated to this mountain and its importance as a place of historical passage.
Hikers can enjoy a walk in the heart of Mont Cenis to discover the remains of the military past of Haute Maurienne. At an altitude of 2118 metres, the Fort of Variselle is one of the most important architectures of Mont Cenis. This former command fort included 27 guns that protected the valley. Today, it offers a very beautiful panorama on the Savoyard nature. A little higher up, the ruins of Fort Malamot are located at an altitude of 2850 metres. He used to watch the Italian border. Today, there is not much left but it allows to see the whole lake from its heights.
La Vanoise is also an important gastronomic heritage. Cheese is at the centre of regional cuisine and is found in many typical dishes. The Dairy Cooperation Interpretation Centre gives you the opportunity to discover how Beaufort is made. This cheese, both firm and melting, is used in the famous Savoyard fondue. Its unique taste goes wonderfully with many dishes. Go to the cheese dairy of the Cooperation to take away tasty products after your visit.
Skiing is, of course, also part of the heritage of Lanslebourg Mont Cenis ! This resort on the Val Cenis estate is just like the town : both modern and authentic, it combines the quality of a large resort with the charm of a Savoy village. The domain is composed of 57 runs extending over 125 kilometres. About twenty kilometres are also reserved for cross-country skiing. Add to that the toboggan run and the sliding area, everything you need to satisfy winter sports lovers !

La bramanette for its magnificent view and the marmots and the refuge where the welcome is irreproachable. The mountain pastures of montres for the view and their succulent cheeses.

We discovered the bread of Modane (a kind of brioche with candied fruits - you can order it from the first baker at the entrance of the village): a delight. There are good blueberry crêpes in Bonneval and fresh pasta at the Italian shop in Lanslebourg. The hike to Lake Cenis is a must: a magnificent panorama awaits us.

"Husky Adventure" : dog sledding experience (very nice souvenir, very friendly mushers). "La Ferme des P'tits Bouts" : the man is also nice and the children could give the bottle to the animals.

The Asian restaurant in Lanslebourg ("L'Atelier des Saveurs") is excellent. The activities offered to the children by the ESF and its associated day-care centre were of high quality (even this year when the lifts were closed).

In the midst of the health crisis, we had a great vacation in Lanslebourg. We learned to discover other activities than downhill skiing or snowboarding (ski touring, snowshoeing, sled dogs and so on...).

The resort village is great and the people are really welcoming. We'll definitely go back next year. In spite of the current context, the ESF beginner courses are effective and the shops are open. As far as prices are concerned, it's very pleasant because there is very little difference with the valley which is very rare for ski resorts. We really recommend this destination.

There are so many good tables everywhere and especially the restaurant "Marius & Joséphine", which is on the very site of the Alpages and which is a slaughterhouse! Be careful, your apartment fridge will stay full because you will want to go back to "Marius and Josephine" for almost every meal! An excellent Savoyard cuisine, original and really delicate dishes of the day, a boss and her waitress Mélissa always smiling and helpful, great warm and tasty moments! To recommend ++ !
