This is the first step towards obtaining 1st category standing and qualifying the village for official French “Stations Touristiques” (Tourism Resort) status. In order to improve service quality (guest services, entertainment, promotion), the Tourism Office offers you the opportunity, through various questionnaires, to provide feedback and indicate your overall level of satisfaction. We welcome your active participation in the modernization of our village. Contents A new logo, a new communications style 3 Visitor guide WINTER 2015 - 2016 What’s new A new logo, a new communications style Few destinations offer so much to enjoy in such a small package… A favorite and famous destination, Pralognan-la-Vanoise embodies a rich alpine history and culture. Its celebrated past, the incredible natural setting, the local authenticity, and the genuinely warm and welcoming atmosphere shape its unique personality. We wanted our new logo to reflect this unique personality: powerful, authentic, inspiring. The ibex, emblem of the Vanoise Range and a historic symbol for the village, exhibits a majestic posture, hooves set firmly on the summit of the Grande Casse. The coat-of-arms form alludes to Pralognan’s celebrated history. The name Pralognan-la-Vanoise asserts itself with force, in an elegant yet contemporary style. This new logo is the result of a collaborative project during spring and summer 2015, involving several Pralognan locals. It will slowly but surely replace the current logo, both in the village and on all of our communications tools. 4 Overview 6-day plus ski pass...............................6 Adaptive skiing.................................... 15 Alpine ski area........................... 6 to 10 Backcountry skiing............................ 13 ESF Ski school........................... 11 to 12 Guide service...................................... 13 Paragliding............................................. 15 Ski insurance....................................... 10 Alpine skiing Tucked right below one of the largest glacier ice caps in the Alps, with dozens of 3000 meter peaks rising high above, Pralognan-la-Vanoise enjoys an ideal situation. It comes as no surprise that copious amounts of snow each winter and the sublime high-mountain landscapes have regaled for decades all those who love the great outdoors in their allnatural state. Long ago, the ski area revealed its appeal to experts seeking incredible mountain thrills to backcountry skiing enthusiasts and to families won over by such accessible terrain. In the end, up here, every perspective and pleasure has its place. The athletic and the pensive always admire with childlike wonder the diverse flora and fauna in the well-preserved natural surroundings. So many incredible timeless moments make every stay truly unforgettable. And there is of course much more… What’s new • The 6-DAY PLUS ski pass A 6-day ski pass that includes access to the Pralognan ski area for 6 days with the option of spending 1 day of your choice at La Plagne, • Ski-mountaineering with local guides A new activity for you to discover the surrounding snow-covered glaciers and to enjoy never-ending descents down untracked slopes. 5 Visitor guide WINTER 2015 - 2016 A ski area for everyone… With a vertical drop of almost 1000 meters, as well as fun zones and runs for everyone’s tastes and abilities, the ski patrol, lift operators, grooming team, and ticket-window personnel are available to ensure that you enjoy this all-natural ski. Cross paths with ibex, chamois, raptors, and several other amazing creatures with the Grande Casse looming high above and Vanoise National Park right next door.

Pralognan also offers a uniquely authentic local heritage, a village without glitter or superficial appearances, forever proud to preserve its traditions, culture, and identity. This identity is distinguished by a strong architectural heritage, by small traditional hamlets dotted with chalets built from stone and wood, and covered with the wood or stone shingles typical of the area. Farming and a pastoral way of life still define the area, even in the twenty-first century, a guarantee that this historic know-how continues to be passed down from one generation to the next. While influenced by its past, Pralognan still lives just as much in the present through sporting, cultural, and festive events all throughout the year that set the rhythm in a village that is everything but stuck in the past. Vanoise National Park Created in 1963, Vanoise National Park covers the mountain range between the Tarentaise Valley to the north and the Maurienne Valley to the south. Extending to the Italian border, it shares a 14 kilometer boundary with Italy’s Gran Paradiso National Park, sister park since 1972. The two parks make up the largest natural protected area in Western Europe. More than 2/3 of Pralognan-la-Vanoise is located in the park’s most protected area (“the central zone”). Pralognan is one of the main gateways to this natural wonder. 33 Sightseeing & culture: guided tours, Maison du Parc Visitor guide WINTER 2015 - 2016 Take full advantage of your vacation to learn, to discover… The culture and sightseeing in Pralognan-la-Vanoise offers more than enough to discover!

Nevertheless, the resort is far from isolated, offering easy access whatever the mode of transportation. Concerned with protecting and preserving the surrounding environment, Pralognan-la-Vanoise places an emphasis on developing the greenest possible forms of transportation, whether ski-bus shuttles for moving about within the resort, or transfers by bus from the nearest SNCF train stations or airports. What’s new • A new shuttle to and from Champagny-en-Vanoise 58 58 Snow-covered Village Auto mechanic You have probably noticed that we leave the roads covered in snow.
