# The Savoyard village blending mountain authenticity and discreet luxury at the heart of Les 3 Vallées

In Savoie, a well-preserved village has become a sought-after winter destination by combining Savoyard tradition with discreet luxury. Its carefully restored chalets and period farmhouses reflect a mountain way of life that combines comfort and rustic charm. Direct access to Les 3 Vallées, presented as the largest ski area in the world, makes it a prime base for skiers.

## 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.
