The history of the village is cradled by agriculture with producers with delicious local salty and sweet specialties and the watchmaking industry where its inhabitants have long manufactured watch parts sold to Geneva watchmakers.
The village is also the meeting place for all enthusiasts of climbing and alpine skiing: why choose between the pleasures of the table and those of the great outdoors? No reason, everything is to be lived in unison!
Let's start with the church dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption. It overlooks the entire valley and is one of the most Instagrammed spots . You might find yourself ringing the bells if you don't take a short detour to admire its remarkable interior and viewpoint. For all the curious, young and old, head to the Pincru chapel and its onion-domed bell tower.

The spot for hiking in Savoie Mont-Blanc is here. Lac Bénit is the crème de la crème of family walks. At the end of the effort, a great reward: the blessed lake, beautiful and wild at the foot of a very impressive limestone cliff.
