Situated in the mountains within a preserved environment, far from all types of atmospheric and visual pollution, Haute Maurienne Vanoise has always attracted astronomers, who found here the sites and conditions favorable for observing the sky.

This natural attractiveness led to the idea of creating a festival on the theme of astronomy: 23rd Astronomy Festival from 4 to 10 August 2007.
