The shores of Mont Cenis lake

From spring to autumn, you will be dazzled by the shimmering blue waters.
Melodic accents, straight from neighbouring Italy, resonate in your ears and
give this hike an exotic flavour. You advance at your own pace, staying alert
as you feel a few stones rolling under your shoes. The challenge of the day
comes when you cross a delicate passage equipped with a handrail. On the way
back, the passage makes you feel like you're diving into a great blue ocean.
The Mont-Cenis Pass, trodden by countless tradesmen since the Middle Ages,
reveals its most captivating stories at the Pyramid Museum. Here, at 2,000 m
of altitude, you'll find a harmonious blend of agriculture, military heritage,
hydroelectric power, water activities, and relaxation.
In summer, it's a paradise for Tarines and Abondances dairy cows. Lovingly
cared for by their breeders, their milk produces exceptional cheeses such
as Beaufort d'Été and Bleu de Bonneval. If you make a quick detour to the
alpine farms near the lake, you're in for an unforgettable tasting experience.

From 01/06 to 01/10.

Subject to favorable snow and weather conditions.

Free access.
