WOOD AND FOREST ECOMUSEUM
Ecomuseum offering a visit to the old hydraulic sawmill, and a walk to understand the links between man and the forest.
Forests are an important part of Thônes' natural heritage, and woodworking and craftsmanship were a major factor in the town's economic development in the 19th century. To find out all about the timber industry, the ECOMUSEUM invites you to step back in time with a visit to the old 19th-century hydraulic sawmill. The visit is rounded off by an animated walk to better understand the links between man and his forest environment.

L’odeur du bois est bien présente, le bâtiment vibre au rythme de la scie, et semble prendre vie pour la visite.
Un très bon moment pour les grands comme pour les plus petits.
Accès très facile (la visite soit même être accessible au personnes à mobilité réduite par l extérieur du bâtiment), parking juste à l’entrée, à 5mn en voiture du centre de Thones.
La batbox pour écouter les chauves-souris : moment juste magique ...
Les guides sont au top, pleins d'humour, sans chichi comme on aime ! Un grand merci à Gary, Olivia et le super stagiaire Gaston !
