What to see / What to know :
An alpine pasture frequented by the inhabitants of Montvernier and Le Châtel until the 11th century, Montpascal became a commune in its own right over the years, with up to 450 inhabitants. In 2001, the village merged with the commune of Pontamafrey, which later became, along with Le Châtel and Hermillon, the commune of La Tour-en-Maurienne.
