La Côte d’Aime

From the lsère river (665 m above sea level.) to the peak of Le Roignais (2 995 m), via the famous Pierra Menta, La Côte d'Aime has many assets:

- Its historical & architectural heritage: La Fruitière museum (in the dairy where Beaufort cheese, known as the "Prince of Gruyères" is made), the olden day schoolroom, a baroque church and chapels

- Its natural heritage of vineyards and apple orchards, forests, Alpine pastures, mountain lakes, climbing routes and a beautiful area for cross-country skiing or snowshoe hikes, with superb views of the surrounding mountain peaks.

What to see and do:

• The village of Montméry for its traditional architecture.

• The baroque church of St Laurent, chapels and oratories.

• La Fruitière museum and its exhibition

• The olden-day schoolroom

• Hiking: on the GR5, through the Alpine pastures of Mont Rosset and the Foran valley, towards Presset and Portette lakes.
