Fossil hunting around Albiez in Maurienne (Savoie)

Description

The hunt for fossils I propose here will help you identify the period to which the history of the landscape can be traced. It is an intrigue to be solved, and the beauty of the stones encountered is matched only by the beauty of the panoramas of the Maurienne valley.

The history of the earth is fabulous and grandiose. The periods of warming, glaciations and the associated geological curiosities of Albiez make this activity a discovery of the richness of the subsoil and all that is apparent.

The history of the relief and the reading of the landscapes allow us to understand the upheavals, the tectonic movements, the glacial erosion, the rain, the wind, the freezing, the thawing that the spaces where we live have undergone.

During this exciting half day, you will do a cultural walk, a little bit of walking and some travelling with your vehicle.

I also offer summer hikes around Albiez to observe marmots and ibexes, discover flowers and plants of the mountains, as well as gourmet walks along the cheese route (possibly including a visit to the heritage).
And for the more sporty, you can follow me to climb a 3000-meter peak in the Maurienne.
