Haute Maurienne Vanoise is proud of its rich and varied heritage, its assets and its attractiveness, and would like to showcase and share its local, social and economic heritage with you through a variety of experiences and unique visits.

An interjection that plays with the "Ô" (a nod to Savoyard dialect) and has fun with the homophones of the word passé to pay tribute to the singular history of our territory.
⦁ pÔp! Finally, it's different media (physical and digital) and formats: a paper guide and dedicated map1, a board game1, an address book and an updated calendar of events for each season that lift the veil on our magnificent valley.
► Guide pÔp !
► A ddress book of heritage sites

1 Dematerialized support, downloadable free of charge from our websites, or in physical format for a fee, available from Haute Maurienne Vanoise tourist offices or from the Maison Cantonale reception desk (Guide + paper map: €10, Code Name Images-style board game: €15).
