Accommodation

Termignon is a reasonably central base for the Haute Maurienne. It is a quiet village situated about halfway along the valley, meaning you can easily access the climbing and via ferratas lower down the valley, the side valleys, the national park and the upper valley. The village has a tourist information centre (which posts a three-day weather forecast in English updated daily and has free internet access), an ATM, a new supermarket and petrol station, cave de vin selling many local wines, local produce shop, equipment shop, a few bars and a couple of restaurants, along with a few fabulous cheese shops.

There is an abundance of self-catering accommodation available at Termignon's new apartment complex. These are clean, well-appointed apartments only finished in 2006. The view from the pool/gym area is a breathtaking vista of la Dent Parrachée.

There is a great campsite in the village offering two venues, one by the river in the shade and the other slightly higher in the sunshine. Site fees are very good value: in 2009 it cost slightly over €10 per night for a large pitch, a car and two people. It is clean and has plenty of hot water throughout the day. (You don't need to worry about grabbing a shower before the hot water runs out!) A little van selling bread and croissants signals its arrival with a cheerful beeping at 8.30 each morning.
