Grab your binoculars and hiking boots: a magnificent spectacle awaits you in the heart of the Alps!
As soon as spring arrives, the Maurienne Valley reveals its exceptional biodiversity.
The alpine meadows are adorned with vibrant colors thanks to crocuses, gentians, and rhododendrons, while the larch forests regain their green foliage.
Along the trails, you can spot numerous wild orchids alongside edelweiss, emblems of the mountains.
The Vanoise National Park is a prime location for observing flora and fauna thanks to its unspoiled valleys.

With a little luck, you might spot the black grouse, an emblematic bird of the Alps that performs its impressive courtship displays in spring.
Exploring the Maurienne Valley in spring is also an opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities.
Numerous marked trails offer opportunities for hiking and mountain biking. Some associations also offer excursions to discover protected species and the valley's iconic landscapes.
