Agenda
Intro 1
Let us tell you about the thousand-year-old history of Tignes, from the peddler to the skier, from the mountain pastures to the villages.
The church of Saint Jacques, rebuilt exactly as it was when the dam was built, will give you an insight into the village's rich history.
From the 1930s onwards, winter sports developed and the mountains were transformed.
Architects, town planners and residents invented a new way of living at 2000 meters altitude. A real challenge!
Discover the history of Le Cernix: this hamlet lies at the crossroads of the communes of Crest-Voland and Cohennoz, on which it depends. Traditions, legends, life in the old days and winter tourism are all part of the story.
