Opened back in December this very old stone house became a very little museum to tell the story of a mountain village before and after it became a world class ski resort. After passing it many times we finally, on this bitterly cold day, decided to poke our heads into the 'Val D'isere museum'. The building, one of the oldest in Val d’Isere, is aptly named “Maison Moris”. It's partly inhabited by a family and partly museum. It was pretty small but perfectly formed, real interesting with some great photos and artifacts going back years telling the story of all things mountain sport geared. This old house has a very interesting frontage with 2 front doors, one above the other, so when the snow stacks up, as it tends to, people can enter the house using the top door or bottom door. .. less tiring than clearing a path to the lower door. Nice!
