Throughout the year there are lots of the local villages offering traditional crafts, food and drink and monthly festivals.

An hour away you will find yourself in the medival town of Annecy or Yvoire, depending what you want from a medivial town, either is a great day out.

Alpine Rose the house has been around for over 200 years having had many uses throughout its history ranging from, a family home to a bank, however the most important time in the houses history was during its 70 years use as the main bakery for the entire Vallèe D’Aulps. Although it baked its last baguette over 25 years go, you can still see the bread oven in the cellar. (although a little rusty these days)

The house has been constructed from traditional Savoie stone and has been sympathetically renovated ensuring traditional features, nooks and crannies remain within the property.
