Hauteluce, a hidden paradise
Its impressive view of the Montblanc, its many hamlets and their chapels, its alpine chalets ... make the Hauteluce valley one of the most beautiful and unspoiled in the Alps. In this natural setting reigns calm, charm, authenticity and conviviality. Skiing enthusiasts will also find their paradise here between theDiamond Space (from the village, via the Col des Saisies ...) and the ski area of Les Contaminated Montjoie (from Belleville, via the Col du Joly…).
High place of Savoyard heritage, you can also discover a remarkable baroque church, many chapels, old chalets and mazots in planks and visit the Ecomuseum. In the center of the village sits the tree of liberty, an extraordinary lime tree planted there during the French Revolution.
Villard-sur-Doron, Bisanne 1500
Charming Savoyard village located in Beaufortain between Albertville and Beaufort. It is good to stroll in the small alleys between the gardens, the houses and the orchards. Saint Peter's Church deserves a little visit. In the heart of the village is the church, rebuilt in 1672 and whose restoration in 1999 essentially restored the decorations of 1852 made of floral decorations and pastel tones. As for the bell tower, it has been altered several times because of the wars but also by the choice of certain wealthy jewelers from the village in the XNUMXth century.
