Roche de Mio

Roche de Mio is a mountain peak in the La Plagne Tarentaise region that stands out in the Alpine landscape. From here you can see across to neighboring peaks and the valleys below in all directions.

The site was developed starting in the 1960s as winter and mountain activities expanded in the French Alps. Since then it has grown into an important hub for visitors exploring the region.

The summit draws people interested in mountain sports and outdoor activities who gather to share their passion for the Alps. This spot reflects how modern visitors use high peaks as places to connect with nature and each other.

A cable system connects the lower station to the summit and makes reaching the top straightforward without long walks. The route is well marked and works reliably throughout the year.

The peak serves as a launch point for paragliders who use thermal winds rising from the valley to glide across the Tarentaise landscape. You can often spot them riding these air currents on favorable flying days.
