Where to practice an individual sport Savoie

Exploring the majesty of the mountains along hiking trails is an incomparable joy! Equip yourself with sturdy shoes and a detailed map, and embark on an adventure along the trails. The vastness of the La Plagne ski area offers a variety of routes to suit all levels, from families to sports enthusiasts. A trail guide is available from the tourist office for a fee. Take time to contemplate nature, the panorama from the summit, and the sight of a marmot along the way.

As its name indicates, this Green Lane evolves north of Chambéry. It connects precisely the city at the superb Lac du Bourget in Aix-les-Bains. If the final destination is to be reached, the journey itself is already a good show. You are in a privileged setting, under the gentle gaze of the surrounding mountains. In order to waste nothing, the smooth coating is also of excellent quality; fans of roller and skateboard quick. Finally note that the most motivated can continue north on 11 km of track along the shores of the lake, or to the south on the 3,5 kilometres crossing the city before joining the southern portion of the Green Avenue Chambéry.

The Vallée des Avals in Courchevel Moriond offers a pleasant family stroll, with a natural site designed for visitors looking for an ideal spot for a picnic or a stroll. The cool forest, torrent and sunny lawns make this short hike very attractive. On the way back, the chalet-buvette serves crêpes or organic specialties, and activity options include canoeing, via ferrata, fishing or forest adventure courses.

If you come from Chambéry, you can reach the Porte de Bush-Rond, starting point of this Green Avenue, through the 3,5 km cycle path that runs through the city. Are you there? Your journey will take you to Saint-Jeoire-Priory via the towns of Barberaz, La Ravoire and Challes-Les-Eaux. And there, beautiful views over the mountains and valley are your journey. Arriving at the destination, a roundabout route will take you to the lake of Saint-André through small roads, but attention: If the Green Avenue is feasible on foot or by bike, this second portion is more like a bike ride, accessible only to the two wheels.

This very easy walk on the Monts de Chambéry, in the heart of the Parc Piot which dominates the city, is an opportunity to escape a little from the city and to enjoy a little greenery to relax better. The Monts site offers a wide view overlooking the city of the Dukes of Savoy and a panoramic view of the Chartreuse massif. The itinerary alternates meadows and wooded areas and follows a health trail. The reward is twofold since two belvederes overlook the cluse of Chambéry. Good plan: enjoy the magic of sunset from up there....

Why not swap the beaches for the peaks and try a golf course in the mountains? In Savoie, the Tignes golf course offers an exceptional setting at an altitude of 2,100 meters, with breathtaking views of Lac de Tignes and the Grande Motte glacier. Nicknamed the "marmot course", it offers a playful challenge with its numerous burrows along the fairways.

In his company, the fauna and flora can be found in a safe and safe way on hiking paths adapted to our level. As the ambassador of the Vanoise Park, he offers us a moment of pure happiness with the observation of ibex, marmots, but also with a passion for pastoralism. In winter, we take a Canadian trapper and we learn all the secrets of the snowy mantle. Another way, smart, to discover the mountain.

More and more machines with no motor, bikes but not really…, travel through our trails. Riders don't just attack the powder, but the dirt of the paths! On our super-equipped Commencal ATV, we're proud. For the lovers of the descent, all summer nights, Méribike organizes a 1 km descent to Brides-les-Bains from the hotel. The ball!

One of the park's emblematic hikes, called the "Chemin des Crêtes", starts in Aillon-le-Jeune. It's a 14 km loop, offering around 4 hours' walking with a 600 m vertical drop. Following rocky slopes and grassy paths, hikers traverse this varied landscape until they reach the crests. At this point, the climb offers magnificent panoramic views. The route is relatively easy and leads all the way to the Carthusian monastery.

The beauty and variety of the landscapes of Savoie and the Mont-Blanc massif are characterized by a wide range of gradients. As a result, the difficulty levels of the cycle touring routes encountered by cycling enthusiasts are just as varied. If the great Alpine passes of the Tour de France are still the stuff of dreams, the kilometers of véloroute, some sections of which are part of the famous "Léman-Méditerranée", are a hit with everyone. The region offers an increasingly varied range of cycling activities for all levels.

This structure, created by Bernard Vissoud, a mountain attendant and a graduate in viticulture and wine-growing, offers us the opportunity to discover the Savoyard vineyard through a wide range of conviviality. In particular, we recommend an evening'on the ground'for a tasting of all the treasures, some rare, of our vineyards. An original exit from friends, leading us to discover the landscapes, history and best wines of the region to the people of the country.

In winter, it will be a question of taking sleigh rides pulled by a horse. In summer we go for a walk, hikes and horseback riding initiation with horses and ponies.

Two ways to discover the Peisey-Vallandry valley bottom, its wild nature, its fabulous panoramas... and all this at the quiet pace of the horse's pace at the gates of the Vanoise National Park. Activities also take place very often, especially during school holidays. All you have to do is read the programme at the tourist office.
