Attacking Fort de Tamié
IGN cards
Description
Experience adventure as you attempt to reach the Fort de Tamié, a veritable bastion overlooking the Olympic city. And experience the thrill of the acrobatic high ropes course.
Don't be fooled by the peacefulness of your first steps in this beautiful protective forest of Gémilly, for if the path progresses slowly but surely, you'll soon discover an exceptional site: a military fort dating from the late 19th century in charge of protecting Albertville and its surroundings.
Don't be intimidated by the entrance porch: you're about to enter a historic and welcoming space, where you'll discover one of the finest high ropes courses in Savoie: thrills guaranteed!
And if you'd like to experience the Fort for yourself, an escape game will give you a hard time, teleporting you back to 1876 to try and escape from the prison where you're now locked up!
The wiser ones will prefer to visit the medicinal garden with Chloé Chléo and Louise: did you know that some plants can be eaten and even cured?
And for the more adventurous, there's the Abbey of Tamié, where you can taste the cheese of the same name.
