Longchamp

Highlight • Settlement

This beautiful place on the slope is mainly known among winter sports enthusiasts. Because there are some slopes around the place in winter. It is all the nicer in Saint-François-Longchamp in summer, when the place comes to rest. Although the place is characterized by tourism, the French mountain culture can be perceived in many places. There is a wide range of hotels and restaurants here.
