Mont de Vorès

Mont de Vorès is a mountain summit in the Beaufortain massif spanning Praz-sur-Arly, Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, and Hauteluce. The area features trails and ski runs that wind through forests and Alpine meadows at varying elevations.

The area developed as a recreational destination during the 20th century through the construction of skiing and hiking infrastructure. This transformation shifted the region from traditional mountain agriculture toward tourism and outdoor recreation.

The mountain region reflects how locals and visitors engage with Alpine landscapes through outdoor pursuits and seasonal rhythms. People gather here to experience the mountains as part of their connection to the land.

Hikers should arrive with sturdy equipment and follow marked trails, as the route is steep and demanding. Better conditions exist from June to September for mountain walking and December to March for winter sports.

A protection zone for the Black Grouse was established in 2012, where skiing and wildlife conservation operate side by side. This approach demonstrates how winter sports and nature protection can coexist in modern Alpine management.
