Ice Groto

The magnificent Ice Cave in Les Arcs is an artificial cave cut into more than 10 000m3 of artificial snow. This ephemeral phenomenon, which is open only in winter, takes a different theme each year. Discover this veritable work of art which sees a dozen sculptors from all over Europe come and create their own works of art each year. Stroll through these galleries which have been dug out and shaped by man, taking almost 100 days each year to prefect! Don't miss this rather special mountain wonder.
Palais de la Mine

The Monts d'Argent mine, also known as the Palais de la Mine, was the headquarters of the French Mining School, before it is transferred to Paris. 70 engineers were trained here.

Discovered in 1644, the mine site was operated until 1866. The mine site features a museum trail, complete with explanatory panels.

Visitors can learn all about the history of mining lead-silver and its historical role in the Peisey-Nancroix valley.
St. Martin's Church

The Isère valley is dominated by St. Martin's church. Founded in 1691, the building comprises three naves and three bays. The originality of this Baroque church lies in its hexagonal bell tower,but also in its interior, miraculously preserved from destruction during the French Revolution.

Two altars were carved by Joseph-Marie Martel and are now classified as Historical Monuments. Different works of art are to be found in this church, the polychrome tabernacle of the gilded monstrance altar, a painting depicting the charity of Saint Martin, as well as the small cherubs and two painted panels.
Coopérative Laitière de Haute Tarentaise

The Haute Tarentaise Dairy Cooperative invites you to discover its speciality, beaufort cheese, nicknamed the "Prince of Gruyères". During a guided tour, you will discover the secrets of this cheese that respects the traditions of the Savoie region.

Bringing together 55 dairy producers in the town of Bourg-Saint-Maurice, it produces about 650 tons of Beaufort AOP, which is then distributed in Sica stores or sold online.
