The Crystal Museum and the Mountaineering Interpretation Center.
The Espace Tairraz offers a fascinating immersion experience, housing both the Musée des Cristaux and the Centre d'interprétation sur l'alpinisme, offering a true journey through time and space. Here you'll discover an impressive collection of crystals, such as smoky quartz, pink fluorite and adularia, born of the interaction of the elements earth, water and fire. Most of these remarkable pieces come from the depths of the Mont Blanc massif, although the Andes and Himalayas have also contributed some unique specimens. An educational trail showcases Alpine minerals, providing a better understanding of their formation. In addition, the Mineralogy Club offers a tour of the temporary exhibition, whose pieces come from an Oisans crystal maker. As for the Interpretation Center dedicated to mountaineering, it offers a successful experience, plunging visitors into the heart of glacier mineralogy. Thanks to electronic and mechanical devices, enthusiasts can experience the practice of this high-mountain sport in complete safety. This unique, playful immersion in the peaks of the Alps, from past to present, allows visitors to manipulate the mountains to better understand their itineraries. Visitors can build their own expedition and simulate climbing high mountains in the skin of a mountaineer. It's an interactive exhibition that offers in-depth knowledge of the alpine environment and lets visitors experience the great sensations of mountaineering.
