Animal lovers will appreciate the cani-rando, the cani-trotinette, the horse rides (or pony rides for the little ones) and the marmot ride.

Beyond Champagny-le-Haut lie the vast wild spaces of the Vanoise National Park, the first national park created in 1963. Whether you go alone, with your loved ones or in a group with a guide, you will not forget these mythical places, such as the dry lake of Glière and its chapel, the Col de la Grassaz… Pay attention to the movements of ibex, chamois and marmots and watch bearded vultures hovering. The flora is not to be outdone with its edelweiss, rhododendrons and gentians. Finally, mountain bikers will appreciate the pastoral track of La Grande Plagne, the only mountain bike route in the heart of the Park from Champagny-en-Vanoise.

Eat and ski !

The hospitality of the Champagnolais is also evident on the slopes. Several high altitude restaurants are run by the villagers, where local specialities and good humour are the order of the day.
Enjoy Lionel and Sabrina's homemade desserts and traditional dishes on the terrace at La Rossa, where authenticity and conviviality are the watchwords. Behind their bar, at Les Borseliers, Céline and Nicolas hand out well-stocked cups and celebrate fresh, local produce. At Le Roc des Blanchets, Arnaud cooks traditional Savoyard dishes with a breathtaking view.
And between 2 cross-country ski runs, you can push open the door of the Refuge du Bois in Champagny le Haut. In a setting worthy of a flea market, after a Savoyard crust, the challenge is to get through the enormous gourmet coffee.
