The Village

In this exceptional environment, propitious for feeling good, the villages in the valley organise a multitude of activities. Discover Chevenoz, Vacheresse, Bonnevaux, Abondance, La Chapelle and Châtel.
In 2003 the Abondance valley was awarded the ‘Land of art and history’ badge by the Minsiter for Culture, in recognition of its remarkable patrimony and treasures.

Whilst participating in guided tours, discovery workshops, or when out hiking, you’ll appreciate this traditional setting with its hamlets set into the mountain side, the religious patrimony (the Abondance abbey and the Maison du Val, two places symbolic of the region’s cultural treasures) and the mysterious beauty of this wooded landscape with its vast white spaces.
