Camping La Forêt, Mountain campground in Montvalezan, France
Camping La Forêt is a mountain campground located on wooded slopes in Montvalezan at 1200 meters altitude. The pitches sit among pine and fir trees with direct access to hiking trails that lead toward the La Rosière ski resort.
The campground was established in the 1980s and became a turning point for organized outdoor tourism in the Tarentaise Valley region. This location played a role in developing mountain tourism that respects the Alpine landscape.
Local mountain guides regularly organize guided tours from the campsite to introduce visitors to Alpine flora, fauna, and traditional shepherding practices.
The site operates from May through October and offers access to marked hiking trails of varying difficulty levels. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear and weather-resistant clothing since conditions can change quickly at this altitude.
Each camping pitch features individually designated areas for campfires, allowing guests to experience mountain evenings under strict safety protocols.
