Guided hikes

At Val Cenis, we love the mountains, and we love to share them! All the locals will tell you that it's never the same, changing from morning to night and every day. The smells, the colors and even the shapes when the clouds are overhead! It's a rich, lively natural world that the mountain guides and wardens of the Parc national de la Vanoise know so well, and which they are delighted to introduce to young and old alike. These mountain professionals offer friendly, educational guided outings to discover the mountain environment, a protected environment and exceptional flora and fauna.
