Holiday in Touch with Nature – in the Heart of Vanoise National Park

Holiday in Pralognan-la-Vanoise means experiencing nature pure because this Pearl is located inside the French National Park Vanoise. Environmental protection, therefore, is a major concern for the tourism industry in this area. You can do entirely without your car and not miss a beat: Numerous hiking trails and environmentally friendly activities (ski and snowshoe hikes, dog sled rides, etc.) and family-friendly skiing activities abound in close proximity of Pralognan so that variety is always guaranteed, in summer and winter alike. And of course, what would be a holiday in France without a delicious taste of exquisite cooking: Even the names will melt on your tongue: Raclette, Beaufort cheese, Genepy herbal liqueur, Tartiflettes, Diots-crozets. Let yourself be surprised by the magic of hearty French mountain cuisine.
