Summits to climb
Climb on foot, on snowshoes, on touring skis, or even by cable car to get to Cîme Caron: everyone has their own personal motivation for making the journey, but once they get up there, the mix of emotions is the same: grateful in the face of so much unexpected beauty, pride at having taken on a challenge, freedom and levity at the vast horizon stretching out before you, revealing stunning landscapes: Les 3 Vallées, the Vanoise and Lozière mountain ranges, Mont-Blanc and the Ecrins mountain chain in the distance, fabulous!
Summits in Coeur de Tarentaise
IT’S EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL SEEN FROM ABOVE!
Climb up to the top of Les 3 Vallées or the Vanoise summits and get ready for an incredible, thrilling experience!
La Cîme Caron (3,195m), le Cheval Noir (2,832m), le Mont Jovet (2,558m), Crêve Tête (2,342m), Le Quermoz (2,296m), la pointe du Cuchet (1,679m). Le Quermoz starting at Hautecour and le Mont-Jovet from Notre-Dame-du-Pré are unmissable summits in our beautiful valley.
Saint-Martin-Express
A bonus in Les 3 Vallées, panoramic views on theSaint-Martin lift
At the top of the Saint-Martin-Express, the world’s largest ski area stretches out before you. On one side, the snow-white Belleville valley, on the other, Méribel, Courchevel and their Alpine summits.
Access: Saint Martin Express Gondola Lift
LA POINTE DE LA MASSE
Opening in winter 2021/2022, the Masse gondola lift is one of the fastest in France! It's a new feature not to be missed!
For an immersive and sensational experience, try the glass-floored cabins. The journey lasts 8 minutes and will propel you up 1000m (2803m altitude!). Along the way, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the lakes below and the nearby glaciers.
On arrival, the view is incredible. There's a large panoramic terrace with a 360° view of the peaks (Cheval Noir, Grande Casse, Cîme Caron, Aiguille du Fruit and others further afield: Mont Blanc, the Grandes Jorasses or the Écrins mountain range...).
So, are you ready for a little sunbathing on the deckchairs?
Nearby, the wooden ibex, the emblem of Les Menuires, awaits you for a souvenir photo.
On arrival, there are 2 options: the lakes circuit between ridges and high-altitude lakes, or the path back to Les Menuires via the magnificent Lou valley.
