A village of character, blending tradition and refinement
The village has kept its soul over time. Around Place de l'Église and the town hall, typical Savoyard architecture unfolds in stone-and-wood chalets, creating a warm atmosphere that families seek out after a day's skiing. Community spirit runs deep here: residents form a close-knit group where calm and goodwill endure.
Preserved architecture and atmosphere
The village's historic centre, built around its church and town hall, reflects a traditional building style specific to the valley. This architectural continuity, combined with the close-knit atmosphere among residents, shapes the village's identity and sets it apart from newer resorts in the massif.
The mountain way of life
Local accommodation, whether chalets, hotels or apartments, reflects a carefully decorated mountain chic. Dining matches this ambition for refinement: restaurants in the village and its hamlets serve delicate cuisine. La Bouitte, a restaurant in the village that has held two Michelin stars since 2024, is the clearest example of this ambition.
Prime access to Les 3 Vallées
The village is part of Les 3 Vallées, presented as the largest ski area in the world. It gives access to around 600 kilometres of pistes and more than 160 ski lifts, letting skiers cover varied terrain on a single pass.
An active valley beyond winter
Outside the winter season, the valley that brings together the village, Les Menuires and Val Thorens has a wide range of outdoor activities between 1,200 and 3,200 metres of altitude: more than 90 in all, including around 70 hiking trails and around forty cycling and mountain-biking trails, spread across the three resorts.
