Opt for an electric bike for an effortless sightseeing tour through the Tarentaise Vanoise valleys. Along quiet, easygoing, waymarked trails, the most beautiful scenery and delights of our region will open up before you.
This original route takes you through two very different settings: the first crossing the mountain pastures of Courchevel, the second, more wild, set within a secret valley at the edge of Vanoise National Park. Start by heading to Col de la Platta (altitude of 2,408m) along a pretty track through mountain pastures. Then pass over to the wild side, dotted with flatter areas perfect for picnics, along a narrow track, with a handful of typical farmhouses gracing the scenery as you go.

The newt pond: stop off and take the time to observe this amphibian emblematic of wetlands. Be discreet so that it comes out of its hiding place. Warning: the alpine newt is a vulnerable and protected species in France!

This route takes you up in a gondola lift, giving you great views of the Grande Casse (highest peak in the Savoie region: 3,855m). Look out for marmots on the ledge 100 metres from the gondola lift station. Watch out for cyclists and golfers.

See the Savoie region’s very own little Dolomites: explore the mineral-rich environment between the tall needles of rock. Watch out for snow fields at the start of the season. Don’t leave your car for too long at the foot of the rock face (danger of rock falls).
