Pré Communal path
112 m

Pré Communal path

An almost 4-hour hike through the forest, with beautiful views over the valley and surrounding peaks (waterfalls, the isolated, typically Savoyard hamlet of Hauteville, the Pré Communal mountain pasture...). In winter, allow 5 hours for the entire snowshoe hike. Start from the village square parking lot in Notre-Dame-du-Pré. Head towards the church and follow the road on the left to the first waterfall (approx. 500 m). Follow the road to the signposted Hauteville path (approx. 500 m). Continue on this path through the forest to the hamlet of Hauteville (approx. 45 min). In Hauteville, pass the old chapel and continue towards the fountain next to the communal bread oven. On the opposite slope, you can see the hamlet of Montfort above Moûtiers. Continue along the same path above the fountain. On leaving Hauteville, turn left at the hamlet's old quarry (approx. 40 m after the ruins). Follow the small path that winds above the quarry, then continue on this larch-lined path to the Pré Communal road a little further up (approx. 10 min). At the intersection with the Pré Communal road, there are two ways to get to this small hamlet of three houses: - the easiest (+ 20 min) Take the left-hand lane up the hill, which crosses the Pré Communal stream and leads to the hamlet after three hairpin bends. - the most difficult (approx. 10 min) Continue along the path you've taken so far, which climbs straight up to the hamlet. A steeper variant, but much shorter! From Pré Communal, follow the road uphill for 10 min, leaving it some 50 m before the second hairpin bend. Follow the path towards La Lèche, then Bois Renaud, and continue downhill on the same path to the Chaille waterfall. From here 2 options: + short through the forest to "Les Foyères" (45 min from the village): Take the path on your left before the bridge and go down to the forest road. Then turn right onto the Hauteville path to Notre-Dame-du-Pré. + long : After the bridge, continue on the forest road that leads to the mountain pastures. Then pass under the ski lift cables. There are two options at this point: 1st option: Continue straight ahead on the track until you reach the tarmac road, which you follow downhill to Notre-Dame-du-Pré (approx. 30 min). 2nd option: Follow the small path alongside the ski lift cables on this old, steeper path down to the village (approx. 15 min). All the way down to the Chef-Lieu, you'll enjoy exceptional views of the Tarentaise and Basse Tarentaise. If the weather's fine, you may even catch a glimpse of the summit of Mont-Blanc and its eternal snows!

Historical Center of Moûtiers
5.7 km

Historical Center of Moûtiers

Discover the historic center of Moûtiers: its pedestrian street and its shops, the medieval streets, the squares, the old bridge, the old archbishop's palace, the cathedral ... Visits for groups on request or free visits all year round. During the visit you will discover one of the emblematic sites of the city. The old bridge or Saint-Pierre bridge built in 1785 and classified as a Historic Monument since 1980. It is the oldest bridge in the city. It already existed in Roman times. Very often rebuilt due to the heavy floods of Isère in the 18th century in particular. Below, you will see a passage called barrioz that the washerwomen used to do their laundry. These barrioz were closed in the evening by barriers (hence their name) in order to avoid unwanted intrusions into the city from the banks. This circuit will reveal many other curiosities linked to the history of the city. For the little story : Moûtiers, known as Darantasia in the Roman era, was the historical capital of the Tarentaise (IIès). At the crossroads of the Valleys and located on the old Roman road linking Milan to Vienna (38), the town was often frequented by pilgrims on their way to visit the tombs of the apostles in Rome, as well as by merchants and soldiers. Home to what is now a thousand-year-old cathedral, Moûtiers had a bishop right from the 5th century, when the bishops became archbishops before being awarded the honorific title of ‘Comte de Tarentaise’in the Middle Ages. A major religious centre, the town’s name doubtless comes from“Monsaterium”: the word for the collected spaces of the cathedral, archbishop’s palace and cloisters. Guided tours are organized by the Savoie-Mont-Blanc Heritage Guides for groups. Guided tours are organized in summer.

St Marcel's cupule stone
2.2 km

St Marcel's cupule stone

A remarkable cupstone rich in inscriptions. The view of the valley and the Saint-Jacques chapel from the plateau is stunning. The Roche de la Pérouse is located in a pasture above the Manoir de la Pérouse, at an altitude of 760 m, below the Rocher du Siaix. It bears the marks of glacial striations. The rock is located on a flat area that could have been used as a meeting place. It was here that the location of the Ceutrons (a Celtic people) prior to the attack by the Roman procurator recounted in the Irnec legend was defined. The engravings are of the polishing, staking and incising type and have been inventoried as follows: - 176 gemellated cupules, elongated, disordered and bound. - 6 cruciforms: T-shaped branches, Christian symbol. - 1 stelliform - meandriform representation - zoomorphic: pisciform - inscriptions in figures. 150 metres to the west of this is another rock, also polished by a glacial event at an altitude of 800 m on the edge of the old mule track from Saint-Marcel to Montgirod. It marks the boundary between the 2 communes. 16 cupules have been recorded, 2 crosses bearing the dates 16BE97 and 1936. The etymology of the word cupule comes from the Latin for ‘small cup’. It refers to cavities cut into prehistoric or megalithic rocks. Their origin is attributed to mechanical and chemical erosion caused by the almost permanent presence of rainwater or run-off. The stagnant water in the caves has a very low pH and is therefore corrosive. As a result of this extremely slow process over time, several neighbouring cupules can be eroded.
