Circuit découverte : Le pays du Mont-Blanc

Discover the Museum, a real timepiece of the industrial and social history of the Arve's valley. Follow the evolution of the farmer-watchmakers' skills from the XVIIIth century until the advent of the screwcutting technology during the industrial revolution.<br/>Original by its history and its collections, the museum is worth the trip. Instituted at the early XXth century by the National School of Clockmaking of Cluses, the museum used to have 2 vocations : to collect ancient time measure instruments (oldest piece is from 16e century) and to save the local industrial memories.

Located into the Espace Carpano & Pons, an old factory, the museum presents also the story of the National School of Clockmaking by presenting unique pieces of clockmaking made by the pupils in Cluses.

Theme guided tours, theatric visits, workshops, temporary exhibitions are organized all the year round and will make you discover the treasures of the museum.

For schools, from kindergarten to high school, we offer tailor-made activities in small groups. We suggest dividing your classes in advance to create smaller groups, thus facilitating the exploration of our workshops and collections. Adapted workshops are also available for school groups with disabilities.

The Museum holds the Tourism and Disability label, and our team is fully aware of welcoming visitors with disabilities.

The valley's largest and most popular market. Numerous stands selling food, gardening equipment or plants and fashion items.

El tren de cremallera más alto de Francia le espera para un viaje maravillo al pie del Mont Blanc. El TMB es uno de los últimos trenes de cremallera de Francia.<br/>A partir de este verano, olvídese de la antigua terminal empinada. A partir de ahora, los trenes le llevarán 300 metros más allá, directamente al pie del refugio del Nid d'Aigle, a 2.412 metros de altitud. El nuevo andén, totalmente estabilizado y mimetizado con el paisaje, está al mismo nivel que el refugio, lo que hace que el lugar sea mucho más accesible para las familias y los visitantes contemplativos. Una nueva plataforma de observación permite admirar los seracs del glaciar de Bionnassay con total seguridad.

En invierno, lleva a peatones y esquiadores hasta el Plateau de Bellevue (1800 m) y el dominio esquiable de Les Houches, para el placer de un paseo de lo más pintoresco y la grandeza de un panorama excepcional.

The Nature Reserve of Les Contamines-Montjoie covers the left side of the valley when you enter the village. Forests, pastures, torrents, rocks, snow and glaciers offer a fragile but wonderful alpine environment.<br/>This protected area of 5,500 ha, located within the commune of Les Contamines-Montjoie is a haven of calm and tranquillity. It is classed as a “Nature Reserve” to protect it from development, which all too often ravages the countryside and natural environment. Here you can admire nature in its unspoiled state.
Take time to enjoy and savour its many different facets (lakes, mountain pastures, cliffs, glaciers). Appreciate its varied fauna and flora: chamois, ibexes and black grouse live among the gentians and rhododendrons.
The natural environment is fragile and animal life is easily disturbed, so please help us by being very careful not to interfere with the natural equilibrium.
Help preserve nature for our own and future generations.
Nature Reserves are part of the very rare areas of Haute-Savoie where nature has remained “unspoiled” by human contact. So enjoy them! Savour the silence and don’t forget that the rules exist to remind us that nature must be respected!
