Bauges crafts: authentic know-how

The Massif des Bauges is an area where creativity is expressed through unique skills. Here, there’s no magic wand, just passionate craftsmen, tools with a patina of age and precise gestures handed down like an elixir from generation to generation. The result: creations with heart and soul, imagined and made locally.

Handmade pottery, carefully crafted wooden objects, natural textiles, delicate jewellery… Each piece tells the story of Baujue nature and its raw energy. These craftsmen concoct veritable potions of know-how, concentrating talent and creativity. Ideal for an original gift or an authentic souvenir of your stay in the Bauges.

Push open the door of their workshops and you’ll discover an inspiring world, where creation is brewed like a rare tea. Some Bauges designers offer participatory workshops, giving you the chance to learn, experiment and take home your own creation. But beware: there’s a risk of addiction to the softness of enamels or the smell of freshly turned wood!

Unique creations for lasting memories

Choosing a handmade creation from the Bauges means supporting the local economy and leaving with more than just an object: a story. Each material evokes the mountain, its forests, its lights and its traditions, for a lasting and responsible souvenir.
