Hauteluce, one village in the Beaufortain Valley, two resorts : les Saisies and les Contamines Montjoie
Nestled in the heart of the Beaufortain Valley at an altitude of 1150 m, Hauteluce stands out for its baroque church of Saint-Jacques d’Assyrie, with a bulb-shaped spire and a trompe l’œil facade. This local curiosity is today listed as a historical monument on the baroque route. To this should be added the authenticity of the chalets and of the neighbouring farms, with the amazing setting of Mont-Blanc as their background.
The village shopkeepers are delighted to welcome you to help you get the most from your stay, including the newsagents and tobacconists, the grocery store, the village bistros, the decorative stores, workshops and a sports shop. In the main town you'll also find the town hall, the post office and a library, the tourist office and its eco-museum.
