Chambery

Chambery

Tucked away in the heart of the French Alps, between the Bauges and Chartreuse mountain ranges, Chambery comes to life during the ski season.

With some of the best resorts on offer, incredible nightlife, and the town’s own rich history, this charming destination is a top choice when it comes to hitting the slopes.

While an undisputed favourite among those who love their winter sports, Chambery is also a great place to go hiking in the summer with a number of national parks and gorgeous lakes - not least the Lac du Bourget - to explore along with the Alps themselves.

Add to that you've got a medieval old town with centuries-old town houses, murals and courtyards; a hugely popular covered market selling some of the very best in local produce; and no shortage of vineyards to explore.
