Environment

At the foot of the Vanoise National Park and at an altitude of 1750m, Bessans offers a healthy, protected environment.
As you stroll through the mountain pastures, you'll come across the herds of cows that produce the milk used to make Beaufort PDO cheese.
The wild valleys that rise from the plateau are home to exceptional flora and fauna. You'll come across mischievous marmots and hear chamois whistling above the magnificent larch forest with its characteristic scent.
