What to do in Maurienne when it rains?
The sky is grey, it's raining and you're feeling down? That's no reason not to enjoy the Maurienne and its countless attractions.
You'll see that there are many activities to do in Savoie even if the weather isn't great.
The Opinel Museum
Discover the secrets of making this famous Savoyard knife.
Housed in the former cutlery factory of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, the museum traces the history of the Opinel family and this great industrial adventure.
You can even buy a knife in the shop and have it personalized.
Admission is free!
The Museum of Costumes, Arts and Popular Traditions
Come and admire this lovely collection of Maurienne costumes such as dresses from the Arvan and Villards valleys.
An entire room is also dedicated to the reconstruction of a Maurienne interior with utensils from everyday life in the past.
This museum is also located in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne!
Why not take advantage of the rain to try an escape game with family or friends?
In Vallois, Fort Télégraphe is transformed into a life-size augmented reality game on the fantastic theme of Alice in Wonderland.
The game is played on three levels from the age of 10.
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 room at the hotel with a private bathroom and television with Chromecast.
