La Saulire
Timeless, Elevatory, Irresistible

Access by the Verdons and Vizelle gondola lifts (1850/2700 m).
THE ULTIMATE OPPORTUNITY TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL
A cable car, high altitude restaurant, walks for all levels (Col du fruit, épaule de la Vizelle, Lac des Creux…), mountain biking tracks, orientation tables, a Via Ferrata, a picnic area and a connection to Méribel : whatever type of escape you are looking for, nothing will stop you pushing your experiences to the limit, especially as the Saulire bends over backwards to encourage your getaway…

Once you’re at the top, you will enjoy a fantastic view over Mont-Blanc, the highest summit in Europe at 4 808 metres and the Grande Casse, the highest summit in the Savoie region at 3 855 metres. Opposite you will see the glaciers of the Vanoise National Park, the largest icecap in the Alps, as well as the 3 Valleys, the largest ski area in the world. But strangely enough, far from feeling like a conqueror, you will feel humble, very humble indeed !
