Savoie is renowned for its cheeses such as Beaufort, a real local heritage.
Produced from Tarine or Abondance cow's milk, you will find it almost everywhere, such as at the Arves cooperative cheese dairy.
You can even visit the cellars and workshops to learn about the manufacturing stages before tasting.
But don't leave without tasting the many typical dishes such as raclette, Savoyard fondue, tartiflette, diots, Savoyard potée or Savoyard cake.
What could be better when the weather is gloomy than to recharge your batteries in a SPA and take care of yourself.
L'Équilibre welcomes you in a sensory space dedicated to relaxation and well-being. Enjoy the hammam to relax or the balneotherapy with self-massage jets before diving into a whirlpool.
You will also find à la carte treatments such as massages and scrubs, including for teenagers and children from 5 years old.
After this moment of ultimate relaxation, book a fully equipped room at the Coeur de Maurienne hotel, featuring a private bathroom and a TV with Chromecast.
Why not also stop by the La Table et l’Ardoise restaurant to enjoy modern cuisine in an authentic bistro setting?
