Les incontournables du massif de la Vanoise

Vanoise massif: The Absolute Essentials

The Vanoise massif in the Savoie department showcases the architectural and natural diversity of the French Alps. This collection features the Col de l'Iseran, the highest paved pass in the Alps, and the 19th-century Barrière de l'Esseillon, a series of five Sardinian fortifications built to guard the road to Mont-Cenis. The region's religious heritage is represented by Baroque churches and mountain chapels like Notre-Dame des Vernettes, while the Chalet Lang provides a look at mid-century alpine modernism in Courchevel.
