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.
