How to reach the tourist office?
Guided tour of the rural heritage in the villages of Les Vallons. Breathe in the fresh air in this pretty little valley where the scenery is dotted with farmhouses and outbuildings such as barns, vegetable plots, sheds and orchards.
Take the time to breathe in this pretty valley, where the landscape, opened up by an ancient glacial lake, still reveals farmhouses with their outbuildings, ponds, fountains and 17th-century chapels. Along the way, the Savoie Mont Blanc Heritage Guides will show you the daily life of this village, which has discreetly embraced tourism in order to stay alive, while continuing its traditional agro-pastoral activities. You'll walk in the footsteps of the stonemasons of the Haut-Giffre and the first tourists of the 19th century.
