Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne

Capital of Maurienne, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is a mountain town situated at the foot of a number of resorts which offer a wide choice of activities in winter and summer alike.

Known by cyclists around the world, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne is a rendez-vous for amateurs and pros who climb the famed passes of the Alps : Croix de Fer, Galibier, Madeleine, Iseran…

Thanks to its state-of-the-art facilities, other top-caliber athletes come here every year for conditioning sessions.

Having played an early role in the history of Savoy, the city lets you glimpse uncommon sights which are a sign of its rich past. Its monuments and landmarks are a potpourri of styles and periods, notably the Opinel Museum, paying tribute to the famous penknife which bears the city emblem.
