Heir to a rich rural, agricultural and industrial legacy, La Tarentaise is a prized region among sport and nature lovers. Revealed by the 1992 Olympic Games, it hosts the resorts of Courchevel, Méribel, Val Thorens, La Plagne, and Les Arcs. Whether amateurs or competitors, its many fans of winter sports don their skis, head for the peaks, then hurl down the slopes with the mountains as far as the eye can see. Winter scenery also ideal for dogsled excursions.
With mountain passes, lakes and meadows, the Tarentaise valley also hosts remarkable flora and fauna. The National Park of La Vanoise and its nature reserves attract fans of greenery who come across Capra ibexes, Alpine groundhogs, red deer or Armenian sheep. Forest walks, hiking along the river, around L’Isère… many trails lead to these gems where nature unfurls all its splendour.
Awarded the ‘‘Villes et Pays d’Art et d’Histoire’’ label in 1991, La Tarentaise has an exceptional architectural heritage. The ‘‘Chemins du Baroque’’ itinerary invites you to explore Gallo-Roman ruins and 80 baroque religious buildings in the Savoy region, on foot, bike or by car.
The region’s culinary specialties include lamb from the pastures, ‘‘fricassée de caïon’’, Savoy cake, Swiss fries and, of course, Beaufort AOP, a typical mountain cheese. Products blending harmoniously with local wines such as La Mondeuse, Le Jacquère and Le Persan.
