The village of Entremont-le-Vieux was formerly named Epernay and today it is sometimes still referred to by that name. The village itself is nothing special with just a few houses and a church. However, the surroundings are wonderful. Entremont-le-Vieux lies in a vast valley, just below the Massif du Granier. There is an interesting archaeological site here worth visiting. In 1988, in a cave near the village, an important site was found, namely the remains of a cave bear. There's now a museum devoted to it. Near the village is the La Desert d' Entremont ski area.
