The Mont Cenis Pass
The popular beauty spot of the Mont Cenis Pass forms a vast area of richly varied interest (agriculture, the lake-based hydroelectric industry, an ecological reserve, walks and hikes from Val Cenis, the forts, lakeside strolls, the plants and wildlife….)
Explore the summer pastures of Mont Cenis and wander along paths and tracks through the herds which placidly graze there throughout the summer, observe the work of the farmers (haymaking, milking...) and sample the produce of these mountains.
Various paths lead you on an exploration of the forts of Mont Cenis and their history.
Visit the Pyramid of Mont Cenis, the Franco-Italian Centre and the nearby Alpine Garden.
Not to be forgotten while you are in the area is the sailing and water sports centre based by the Mont Cenis lake.
Mont Cenis is the gateway to Italy and if you wish to go further afield, follow the road to Susa and Turin and sample culture, Italian-style.
