The lush landscapes form a playground for amazing adventures, whether on land or water, while the region’s cities, towns and villages burst with cultural charm and antiquity.

Sprawling across the landscape and featuring glacial lakes, alpine meadows, rocky valleys and high mountain passes, the department’s national parks are the ideal place for walking, hiking and cycling days out. With a diverse blend of flora and fauna, and over 100 summits breaking a 3,000m elevation, walkers and hikers will literally be in heaven in the Vanoise National Park.
Shared with the neighbouring department of Isère, the Chartreuse Regional Nature Park features a beautifully rugged blend of limestone cliffs, dramatic gorges, alpine meadows, dense forests and meandering lakes. The best natural sites worth visiting in the park include the gorgeous panoramic viewpoint at Belvédère des Sangles and the serene setting of the Grande Chartreuse monastery.
Turquoise blue waters and lush green from shoreline woodland give colour to Aiguebelette, a stunning lake where visitors can enjoy a range of water sports including kayaking, pedalo boating and stand-up paddle boarding. At Lake Bourget, campers can enjoy boating and fishing trips on the water and peaceful walks around the shore.
With a focus on well-being and boasting Belle-Époque hotels, balneotherapy centres and pedestrian shopping streets, the spa resort of Aix-les-Bains is the ideal place for relaxation and reflection. Among the best places to appreciate the culture of the department, the medieval village of Conflans features quaint streets, houses and a fascinating Ethnography and History museum. The typically Savoyard village of Bonneval-sur-Arc whisks day-trippers a few centuries back in time.
The chief city of the department, and its historical capital, Chambéry has numerous tourist attractions including the Elephants Fountain, Château de Chambéry, the Beaux-Arts Museum and the House of Jean-Jacques Museum.
