In spring

Winter is slowly drawing to a close. The snow is melting, and the last traces of white are gradually giving way to the first hints of green. The winter chill is fading under the rays of the spring sun. The rivers are breaking free from the ice, the streams are swelling, and their gentle lapping accompanies the mountains’ reawakening.

In the meadows, nature is regaining its colours. The first buds are bursting open, flowers are appearing and the scents of spring mingle with the buzzing of the bees, which are already hard at work. Everywhere, life is returning to its normal rhythm.

After long months of hibernation, the marmots emerge from their burrows and pop their heads out. The swallows return to the mountains and their songs ring out once more through the air. In the mountain pastures, the first herds of cows, sheep and goats gradually make their way up to the higher ground, in search of the first blades of grass.

The mountains are changing their appearance… and with them, the ways to explore them.

The mountains are coming to life. Why not come and wake up with them?

How about exploring the mountains with your four-legged friend? Dog-walking lets you enjoy the trails in a whole new way, in a friendly atmosphere and in the great outdoors.

It’s the perfect activity for sharing a special moment with your dog whilst exploring the landscapes of La Toussuire along the trails.

In spring, the mountains reveal themselves from a whole new perspective. Take to the skies and let yourself be carried along as you admire La Toussuire and the Maurienne countryside from above.

Between sky and mountain, paragliding offers a unique experience: the chance to discover the peaks, valleys and wide-open spaces in a whole new way, with an unrivalled sense of freedom.

The fine weather is returning, temperatures are rising and the urge to get on your bike is setting in. Spring is the perfect time to gradually get back out onto the trails and set off to explore the mountain scenery on your mountain bike.

Depending on the conditions, enjoy a natural playground of trails, paths and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks.

When nature comes back to life, it’s also a chance to slow down and take some time for yourself. In La Toussuire, yoga invites you to make the most of the mountain’s tranquillity to breathe, refocus and recharge your batteries.

With gentle movements, breathing exercises and moments of relaxation, let yourself be carried away by the peaceful atmosphere of spring. A wellness break to gently reawaken the body and make the most of this season when everything comes back to life.

In spring, the flocks gradually return to the pastures and life resumes on the mountain farms. At the Bergerie de l’Étoile, meet Axelle, a sheep farmer, and discover her daily life in the heart of the mountains.

During a tour of the farm, she’ll share insights into her profession, her expertise and the behind-the-scenes workings of sheep farming. The experience continues with a tasting of products made exclusively on the farm: terrines and sheep’s-milk cheeses.

An authentic and delicious experience to discover the life of a sheep farmer, the animals and local produce, right alongside the people who bring the mountains to life.
