Savoie: a natural paradise in the heart of Europe

Savoie is a French department located in the region of Rhone-Alps, which is in the extreme east of the country. Its origin is quite recent, as it was annexed to the territory of the country in 1860, at which time the Duchy of Savoy lost its own sovereignty. In particular, it borders Haute-Savoie to the north, with Val d'Isèreand Ain to the west, the High Alps to the south and the province of Turin, Italy to the east.

1. Skiing in Tignes

Tignes is one of the most important ski resorts in the world and probably the best in Savoie. Our advice is that if you like skiing, snowboarding or any other snow sport, you go there to enjoy it. However, the best thing to do is to look for chalets in Tignes and go there in advance by public transport as, generally, there are large traffic jams or the pass is cut off.

2. Take a route through the Vanoise National Park

The Vanoise National Park occupies a large part of the territory of Savoie and is spectacular in summer and winter. If you have little time, you can make a day trip to Col de la Vanoise or Mont Bochor. If you can afford to be at least five, don't hesitate to do the spectacular Vanoise Glacier Tour.

3. Visit the city of Chambery

Chambery is the most important city in the department of Savoie, and therefore you should not miss the opportunity to visit it. It has a magnificent cathedral and a historical centre with a really interesting medieval appearance. It's not too big, so in a day or two, you'll be able to see all its points of interest if you have a holiday letting in Savoie. It's worth it!

4. Taste the exquisite Savoie cheese

We don't need to recommend any special place because wherever you go, you'll find Savoy cheeses to buy. Our advice is also to take the opportunity to try the exquisite Savoy pie and tartiglette, a tasty potato gratin.

5. Walk on the lake of Bourget

Lake Bourget is the largest natural lake of glacial origin in France. An ideal place for bathing, fishing, admiring cinemas, sailing or simply relaxing and contemplating the landscape. Therefore, it is not surprising that it is one of the favourite places in the area for many families who visit it, especially on Sundays. In addition, in July the Musilac is held here, so you can enjoy numerous concerts. If you have a holiday rental in Les Saisies, you can visit Savoie to explore Lake Bourget.
