Hiking to the Refuge de La Femma


For mountain lovers, there's nothing like a hike to La Femma, a mountain refuge. A three-hour walk to familiarize yourself with the raw beauty of the Haute Maurienne, before being rewarded by the warm welcome and authentic atmosphere of the refuge.

Water sports at Lac du Mont Cenis


After the Alpine landscapes, it's time for the crystal-clear waters of the Base nautique du Mont Cenis. Discover Mont Cenis from a new angle by kayak or pedalo!
