The must-see views from the village
Our village center offers a sublime view of the Mont-Blanc range, the Aravis and the Aiguilles de Warens. Witness to the history of the village, our baroque church Notre Dame de l'Assomption is also a magnificent photo subject. Its silhouette stands out elegantly on the landscape.

During a walk of about an hour, come and discover the botany, ecology, fauna and history of the mountain forest on a path that winds through the pessière (spruce forest) of altitude on the ground lined with blueberries.
The trail winds through a “living” forest where conifers meet deciduous trees, where foxes and wild boars can hide, not to mention raspberries, blueberries, ferns, anthills... The hike may end with a picnic on the Plains Landscaped Area....
Le Centre de la Nature montagnarde
ASSOCIATION OF THE CENTRE DE LA NATURE MONTAGNARDE
Mountain Environment Education and Awareness Association since 1985, the NMC offers activities and workshops for everyone all year round. The activities offered are based on the remarkable environment of the Pays du Mont-Blanc. The goal: discover, explore, understand and learn while having fun!
Activities for all
During the holidays, the CNM develops an entertainment and events program for the general public. Such as the workshops of P'tits Experts de la Nature every Wednesday afternoon (for 6-12 years old), theme evenings (astronomy, deer brame, etc.), naturalistic courses (glaciology, alpine botany, geology...), entertainment stands, hiking and creative workshops. The association also offers services to the tourist and local authorities of the department.
Activities for groups
During the school period, the CNM travels directly to schools, accommodation centres and outdoors (natural spaces) in order to conduct activities designed specifically for each school level from kindergarten to high school. These activities are grouped together in the NJC animation catalogue which you will find on their website http://centrenaturemontagnarde.org.
All throughout the year, the team of the Centre de la Nature Montagnarde also offers entertainment for leisure centers, and any other structure welcoming groups.
