A newly built Centre des Glières (near les Balcons residence) has an ice
rink, swimming pool and whirlpool, with tennis, table
tennis, archery, mini golf, kayak, horse and pony
riding, also available.
Although Savoie is best
known by cyclists for its prestigious high mountain
passes and its long and acrobatic mountain bike
descents, there are also quiet little roads in the
valleys, middle mountain paths, undulating vineyards,
lakeside scenery and especially breathtaking alpine
panoramas, to be discovered by bike, by foot, or on
horseback, with mountain guides to show the way - for
beginners and experts alike.
In the heart of the scenic and unspoilt Haute Maurienne, bordering the
stunning Parc National de
la Vanoise, Val Cenis is only half an
hour’s drive from Modane and the motorway exit.
