Whether you’re curious, contemplative or sporty, these must-sees invite you to explore this unspoilt corner of the Bauges massif… whatever the season.

A life-size playground

At Aillons-Margériaz, the mountains open their arms wide to you. In winter, head for Margériaz 1400 for downhill skiing in pleasure mode, or put on your snowshoes and head for the Croix d’Allant for a snowy interlude between forests and panoramic views.
