Pralognan-la-Vanoise is a legendary destination in the French mountains, labeled Terre d’Alpinisme. Grandiose and accessible, spectacular and on a human scale, Pralognan-la-Vanoise excels in the art of combining contrasts. At the foot of the Grande Casse, the highest peak in Savoie, and the largest ice cap in Western Europe, it opens the doors to an immense territory in the heart of the Vanoise National Park.
In 2025, on the occasion of the International Year of Glaciers, Pralognan-la-Vanoise will highlight the beauty and fragility of its glaciers through events and activities dedicated to raising awareness and preserving these ice giants.
Much more than a resort, Pralognan-la-Vanoise is above all a mountain village in a picture-postcard setting. An authentic village of heart, intimate and friendly, where the mountain has been tamed with intelligence and passion by its inhabitants – all year round -, with the greatest respect for the fauna and flora. With or without skis, on foot, snowshoes or on horseback, here the mountain offers the best it has to offer, from the earth to the sky, to live unique experiences at all levels… up to the summits!
