The Vallon du Clou is located in the upper Tarentaise (Savoie) valley in the commune of St Foy-Tarentaise. The commune has tried to have annulled the classification of the valley so that it can create more downhill ski pistes and install ski lifts. The good news is the ?Conseil d’Etat? has recognised the need to protect the whole of the Vallon du Clou.
