Tarentaise Valley, U-shaped valley in Savoie, France
The Tarentaise Valley extends through the Graian Alps, with the Isère River flowing between the Beaufortain and Vanoise mountain ranges.
The valley's name originates from Darantasia, a settlement that served as the capital of the Centrones tribe during the pre-Roman period.
The valley communities maintain traditional alpine farming practices on the northern slopes while modern ski developments occupy the southern side.
A railway system connects Paris to Bourg-Saint-Maurice, with the N90 road providing vehicle access through the main section of the valley.
During summer months, the valley opens mountain passes to the Maurienne region, while winter transforms it into a terminal point at Val d'Isère.
