5.600 years ago, the first farmer-breeders settled in the Balmes cave which dominates Val Cenis Sollières Sardières in Haute Maurienne Vanoise. Handicrafts immerse visitors in the daily life of these first mountain dwellers. During 3,000 years of occupation of the site, we realize that these men had relationships with their environment that went well beyond simple subsistence. Cultural influences from Switzerland, the Mediterranean coast and even northern Italy show that 5,000 years ago, people already frequented the mountains.
