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.

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.

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.

Le Boilet is the only stream to flow through the municipality of Hautecour. Diverted from its initial course in the past, it was used as a headrace to supply water to the sawmills and other mills in the hamlets of Le Villard et Les Moulins. Along some stretches, it strayed off course, creating little ponds called nays, which the community used for soaking hemp. Water from the stream was also used to put out fires, water crops, for livestock to drink and for chores. Since 1990, it has been deviated to supply La Trappe lake.

Built in the wake of a plague outbreak in 1618, this chapel is dedicated to St Roch, St Sebastian and St Fabian.St Roch and St Sebastian, commonly invoked against the plague which struck Europe during this period, have remained the village's guardians. They are depicted in the sculptures and paintings of the altar, erected in 1874. In 2005-2006, the rough plaster on the main façade was restored according to the traditional method of old, and a new sundial was painted.To the left of the chapel is an intriguing feature: a monolithic carved stone cross which would seem to predate the Christian era. It may have been used in reverence of Janus, for on the back are two sculpted heads symbolising Day and Night. In the middle is a hollow square, probably used as a box for offerings.

Picnic area near the lake

Above the lake, a pointed bell tower stands out against the sky. A sculpted portal invites you to go further... to discover a building in which the decorations of successive centuries complement each other in beautiful harmony. From the top of its mound, the 12th-century bell tower, with its geminated bays topped with Lombard arcatures, still dominates the village districts scattered across the slope and the Moûtiers basin... When the building was refurbished in the 17th century, G. Cocher, a master carpenter from the village, carved the stone portal with an interrupted pediment arch, surmounted by a statue of the Virgin and Child. The entire painted decoration, restored in 1990, was created by the Artari brothers in 1860. They painted the vaults of the nave and choir: their decoration, full of finesse, features holy figures and symbolic representations illustrating the foundations of the faith. At the back of the choir, the main altarpiece was created in 1825 by Gilardi and Schira, sculptors from Valsesia in Piedmont: four columns with smooth shafts frame the central painting depicting the two Saints Stephen, one a pope and the other a martyr. In the side aisles, the two altarpieces of Saint Anthony and the Rosary have better preserved the Baroque aesthetic of the 17th century. Of particular note in the right-hand aisle is a carved wooden bas-relief painted in the 19th century and imported from Italy, depicting the Nativity surrounded by numerous figures and animals.

Thanks to its prime location on a rocky promontory, this Gothic Revival-style chapel has become a landmark of the hamlet of Le Breuil.It was built using funds donated by the village community and above all owing to the generosity of one of its most prominent locals: His Grace André Charvaz (1793-1870), who rose to become Archbishop of Genoa from 1852 to 1869. Building work began in 1864 and ended in 1866. Myriad statues grace the interior, and the two women saints are depicted in the stained-glass windows.

Houses with vaulting, typical of the local architecture, can be seen in this traditional Savoyard village, which also has a communal oven that has recently been renovated. The date this oven was built is unknown. Its 60 to 80cm-thick solid walls are built on rock foundations. The location of such a bread oven was always chosen a good distance away from dwellings and near a source of water. In the olden days, everyone knew how to make bread: it was baked in the communal oven once a month. The oven was pre-heated using firwood. The temperature was checked by throwing in a pinch of flour or a scrap of newspaper, and if it turned the colour of perfectly baked bread, it was hot enough. The remaining charred wood was taken out using "the scraper" and the oven was cleaned using a damp cloth. The loaves of bread were then put in using a long-handled timber peel. Baking time was usually about an hour.

Activities during the Rhône Alpes February holidays: 3 astronomy evenings.

This refuge is staffed and serves refreshments, so treat yourself to a break on arrival! The stunning view from outside takes in La Lauzière, Le Cheval Noir and the Vanoise peaks with, in the background, La Meige and Les Ecrins mountain range. Marmots are commonly sighted around here and, if you're lucky, you might even spot a Golden Eagle!

The gite "Pollen" is a holiday cottage in the heart of the village of Granier (Tarentaise/Beaufortain). It is an old mountain building, completely renovated, facing south and with a breathtaking view of the Vanoise glaciers.
