Bessans

Bessans stretches along the Arc River in the Haute Maurienne valley of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, where its high Alpine setting has shaped pastoral traditions and winter travel. Near the Italian border, the village lies in the upper Maurienne amid broad valley floors and steep slopes leading towards Vanoise National Park. Bessans is closely associated with cross-country skiing, while its small carved wooden devils of Bessans recall a local craft tradition and remain familiar regional souvenirs. Walking and cycling take over when the snow retreats. Browse additional webcams around Haute Maurienne to extend your view of the French Alps.
