Beaufort

Built around the Doron de Beaufort in the French Alps, Beaufort grew into the principal settlement of the Beaufortain. The village lies in a high valley below routes leading towards the Cormet de Roselend, a mountain pass linking Beaufortain with the Tarentaise. Pastures and forests shape terrain long associated with summer grazing. Beaufort is known above all for Beaufort, a pressed-cooked cow’s-milk cheese protected by an appellation of origin; local dairies make its large wheels from alpine milk. The Roselend reservoir farther up the valley is also part of the area’s hydroelectric landscape. Trace Beaufort’s place in the Beaufortain and the wider Savoie Alps by browsing webcams nearby.
