An old farm built in 1783 houses this museum, providing visitors with an insight into the location’s fascinating history: farmhouse interior, from stable to kitchen including a display of everyday objects and a collection of old skis dating from 1900.
How were the first skis made? Who were the first users? From bindings to chamois skins, from sledges to snowshoes, techniques and equipment have greatly evolved to go faster and safer. Housed in an 18th-century farmhouse, the impressive collection at the Musée du Ski Ancien de La Chapelle d'Abondance brings together the traditional way of life of the local people and the arrival of winter sports in the valley.
