Things to see and do

Pralognan-la-Vanoise is a real village with a history, old neighborhoods and traditions. Not to be missed, the classified villages of the Cross, Fontanettes or Prioux but also cheese dairy, such as the farm Ritord after the refuge of the Roc de la Pêche, Péclet Polset direction, the traditional festivals at the very long summer.

A guide will introduce you to the secrets of the village, the unmissable, and introduce you to a tasting of local products...

Do not forget to visit La Croix, hamlet of Pralognan. There is an old village where a few years ago, the cows were on the ground floor and the inhabitants upstairs. Talk to the elders, they are loquacious about the customs, the anecdotes of yesteryear. The génépi and the gentiane flower in their chalets. It is nice to walk in the steep streets where float calm and authenticity.
