Gîte-Auberge de Montvilliers
From the Gîte-Auberge, paths, trails, tracks and windy roads cross forests and alpine pastures to reach the summits, traveling through remarkable viewpoints and testimonies of the present and the past filled with mystery. Mountain bike and e-bike enthusiasts will appreciate this terrain of gradients, shades and sunlight.
The Gîte-Auberge is an ideal base for a week of hiking to discover varying landscapes. Vanoise, Alpes Grées, Mont Blanc, Beaufortain, Lauzière, each of these ranges have geological stories that have shaped the land and human activity. A paradise for hikers.
From the mule tracks made famous by hawkers and smugglers to the routes made famous to cyclists by the Tour de France, there is always a sense of reward when at last you contemplate the scenery on the other side. Alpine roads are also a real joy on a motorcycle.
Baroque mountain churches are specific to the Savoie. Do not miss some typical villages witnesses of the past, eco-museums, and alpine towns such as Aosta, Annecy, Courmayeur, Chamonix.

Baroque Art, Folklore
What do you know about the history of Savoy? It was one of the most powerful and best organized states in the Middle Ages, and its territory covered a significant part of the Alpine arc, from the Mediterranean to the Great Lakes. Avatar of Italian unification, Savoy joined France in 1860, and remains, in many ways, "different" in its religious architecture and traditions. Baroque altarpieces and ecomuseums as well as folklore festivals are there to bear witness to this.
