Bessans, Alpine and Savoyarde, of Maurienne and Vanoise, laying in the opulent cradle of the valley; watched by high fairies of 3,000 meters, Bessans appears at the bend of a meander of the Arc and smiles at us with his first stone roofs: it is a village of high mountains, the summer bathed in pastures and all dressed in green and flowers, the winter and more, buried under the white of exuberant snow.

Bessans which stretches towards its hamlets, its alpine chalets, its so-called places. So many names that sing the valley: Vallon and Villaron, Avérole and Travérole, Buffaz and Goulaz, Chalp, Vincendières under the eyes of the mountains and glaciers: Tierce, Soliet, Albaron or Charbonnel, and even Martin or Ouille Allegra. A whole program, trek on foot, climbing, cycling, or skiing. It is today's Bessans that adds to its many facets, the sporting pleasure of a generous nature.

This 26x13cm travel notebook is a beautiful object with a soft cover casted with glacier blue, silky vellum and rounded corners. 72 pages of introduction and photos of an ode to the mountain men and a prodigal but fragile nature.
