Sollières-Sardières

Sollières-Sardières is an Alpine commune in southeastern France situated between the Mont Cenis and Ambin mountain ranges within the Maurienne valley. The settlement sits at approximately 2000 meters elevation and comprises two main villages with traditional buildings and a structure typical of mountain communities.

The commune was formed through a merger of five neighboring villages in 2017 that unified to create Val-Cenis. This consolidation brought together Bramans, Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis, Lanslevillard, Termignon, and Sollières-Sardières under a single municipal structure.

The commune maintains traditional Alpine architecture with residential areas divided between two main villages: Sardières and Sollières.

A small airstrip identified by ICAO code LFKD provides air access to the region. The town hall operates specific days during the week for administrative services and inquiries.

Portions of the commune fall within and on the boundaries of Vanoise National Park, creating different protection levels across the territory. This spatial division shapes how the landscape is managed and conserved.
