A picturesque route full of history

In the very heart of the Vanoise National Park, at one of the Park's only sites that can be reached by bike, you'll enjoy a view of the largest icecap in France.

Enter the magical world of the Mont Cenis site. Its lake with its sometimes turquoise or emerald colours plunges you into an aquatic universe in the middle of these summits with mineral colours often glittering with white.

The monolith is the work of nature herself. it is in fact a needle of cargneule sedimentary rock standing 93 metres tall on a bend where you can stop to admire it. After seeing it your imagination tells you that somebody with a magic potion must have placed it there!
