The Val D’Arly territory is one of a kind. Lush greenery or white desert, depending on the seasons, between Aravis, Mont Blanc and Beaufortain, Val d’Arly is a territory of wisdom and knowledge. It has kept alive the legacy of its ancestors. Today, it passes on, to those who listen, the wisdom of the mountain. Here we combine know-how, life and social skills of past, present and future. Es gibt einzigartige Regionen. Eine davon ist das Val d’Arly. Diese traumhafte grüne Landschaft oder weisse Wüste, je nach der Jahreszeit, liegt zwischen der Araviskette ,dem Mont-Blanc-Massiv und dem Beaufortain. Unser Val d’Arly ist ein Land der Weisheit und des Wissens. Es vermochte das lebendige Erbe seiner Vorfahren zu bewahren. Hier gibt man noch die Weisheit der ehemaligen Bergbewohner an diejenigen weiter, die zuzuhören wissen. Hier münden noch das Können und die Lebenskunst vergangener Zeiten in die Gegenwart und Zukunft

Land of transmission ein land des Weitergebens
Sunny plateau, surrounded by spruce forests, Crest-Voland Cohennoz is the land of transmission. Villages and gentle slopes are conducive to family times. These moments allow children to learn from their parents and grandparents. Tomorrow, they will explain, in turn, how to ski, how to preserve the ecosystem of a peat bog or how to use water to power a mill.

land of heritage ein land der Traditionen
The centre of Val d’Arly, crossroads between the two Savoie, Flumet and Saint-Nicolas-La-Chapelle bring together the land of shared heritage. The atmosphere of their medieval village is still intense, their sacred heritage transports you. It is not only old stones but encounters. Here you can embrace and perpetuate unique know-how such as smoking meats, mule breeding and many other agro-pastoral traditions. u // L

land of respect ein land des Respekts
Typical village, nestled in the middle of slopes and forests, La Giettaz is the land of respect. Here, nature is omnipresent and preserved. Man becomes part of this environment if he knows how to listen, observe and reflect on it. Wildlife crossing on footpaths is a source of wonder. The mountain creates emotions and the power of the countryside reminds of the superiority of nature.
