Experience An exceptional playground for cross-country skiing

In the 18th century, the village made its living from agriculture, despite the difficulties of farming in an environment with long, harsh winters. In 1741, two Englishmen, William Windham and Richard Pocock, set off on an adventure in the valley. They discovered the Bois glacier. Fascinated by this expanse of ice, they gave it its current name: the “Mer de Glace”.
