A resort served on two plateaux
Praz de Lys, Sommand, Taninges, Mieussy… Doesn’t mean anything to you?
Let us explain!
Our territory extends over two communes: Taninges and Mieussy, located at around 600 m altitude and surrounded by magnificent mountain peaks. But… …where can you go skiing at 600 m altitude?
Don’t panic! These two villages rich in history each have their own hamlet at 1500 m altitude: Praz de Lys and Sommand – this is where you will be able to ski all winter and hike all summer!
