The Val d'Histoire Museum

At the foot of the mythical Face de Bellevarde, discover the history of Val d'Isère. From the founders to the Olympic champions, from the agropastoral culture to the international ski resort, meet the people of Val d'Isère who have shaped their village. Come and discover the evolution of the valley through themes such as the traditional habitat, the environment, the birth of skiing and the resort. How, with the rhythm of the seasons, a few pioneers took advantage of a setting that was as dangerous as it was fertile?

Interactive and fun, texts in French and English, free entrance... don't miss it, the museum is worth the detour!

Address : Maison de Val - 320 rue de la Face 73150 Val d'Isère
