General presentation
Beaufortain
Dam lakes, alpine pastures, villages, cheese, hiking and alpine landscapes preserved.
To understand what Beaufortain is, you have to look at Lac de Roselend, Beaufort and Alpages. These places give you a view of a territory marked by mountain reliefs, natural spaces and shores and lakes and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: mountain roads. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lac de Roselend
The lake of Roselend mixes water, relief and light into a changing frame according to wind and altitude. Depending on the route chosen, the discovery can be reduced to a contemplative stop or become a long walk between docks and trails. The best moment often comes when the landscape stabilizes and the perspective becomes clear.
Village
Beaufort
Beaufort reveals a history visible in its facades, its alignments of buildings and the density of its ancient center. The interest is not only architectural: it is also the way the village frames the eyes towards the heights. An exploration on several axes allows to understand its local role without time pressure.
Scenic route
Cormet de Roselend
At the Cormet de Roselend, the passage between valley roads and high points creates a feeling of abrupt opening on the mountain landscape. It is a transition place, ideal for raising the pace, crossing the flow of hikers and identifying the lines that structure the valley. The quieter hours offer less saturated views.
