Saint Jean d'Arves
Presentation
Saint Jean d’Arves is, before everything, a village, and then a resort. Composed of thirty spread hamlets, with an outstanding exposure, the town includes the renowned Aiguilles d’Arves.
Right in the heart of the Arves massif, the destination welcomes you to a paradise of hiking for all levels. Home to the emblematic Aiguilles d'Arves and their cat's head, hike right up to them, or take in the view of Mont Blanc, the Pic de l'Etendard or the Belledonne massif... All the Alps at a glance!
Summer in Saint Jean d'Arves is also an opportunity to get back to basics. Traditions, agriculture and folklore are honored throughout the season with flagship events: Beaufort au Sommet, Alpages en fête, Foire aux Bestiaux, Traites en alpage, Fête du mouton, Fête des foins...
Located in the Beaufort region, the milk from Saint Jean d'Arves farmers' cows is collected every day to make the wheels of this typical regional cheese. Discover it on a visit to the Fromagerie Coopérative des Arves. The cheese doesn't even have to travel 2 km to reach your plate! It couldn't be any shorter.
Saint Jean d'Arves also offers activities for all ages. Young and old alike can find their own rhythm on foot, horseback or mountain bike...
Every week, the Tourist Office prepares a rich program of activities: illuminated evenings, guided tours, milking in the mountain pastures, teenagers' evenings, mini discos...
