It includes a small side valley of the Isère, which is formed by the Torrent de la Gruvaz mountain stream . The mountain ridges adjoining the side valley to the south and east delimit the municipal area, while this extends even further in the north into the neighboring valley of the Torrent de Bénétant , which partially marks the municipal boundary . It reaches its highest point on the 2686 m high Le Grand Mont . This means that large parts of the municipality extend beyond the tree line , which is around 1800 m here .

history
The Tarentaise was already settled by the Celtic people of the Ceutrons before Roman times. From Cevins, whose name goes back to the personal name Civinus , the first documentary mention comes from the year 1110 ( Imbertus Dapifer de Civins ). Later in the 12th century it was mentioned along with other parish churches in the Tarentaise.
Attractions
The village church of Saint Nicolas from the 18th century replaced a previous building destroyed by a flood. Its facade and roof structure are inscribed as a monument historique . In the more distant hamlets above the town center there are chapels. The Château du Chagnay dates from around 1100 , a permanent house on the Calvary above the Isère, of which ruins have been preserved.
