An exhilarating getaway between lake and mountains for your next holiday – sounds fantastic, doesn’t it? If you agree, then set off for Chambéry, the historic capital of the Savoie department. The town, once home to the Counts and Dukes of Savoy, is brimming with treasures everywhere you look! Simply decide how and when you’re going to see them all!
Chambéry is a wonderful spot for a holiday, whether you’re coming with family, your partner or friends. Heritage, gastronomy and natural parks... this city of Art and History has something for all ages and for all tastes. Just one piece of advice: in Chambéry, do as you please!
Nestled between the lake and the mountains, your Sandaya campsite is the perfect base for your holiday in the Savoie. When you’re not out and about exploring the surroundings, relax on the terrace of your comfortable mobile home or on a sunbed by the water’s edge. Meanwhile, your little ones will have a whale of a time in the water park or in the free children’s clubs.
A visit to Chambéry is not just for the grown-ups! Your young campers will be spoilt for choice from among the array of activities. Start with a ride on Chambéry’s little train, followed by a visit to the Natural History Museum then a sporty session at the skating rink.
You can also set out on a nature walk through the surrounding countryside and visit an educational farm to be sure to keep your little explorers happy and entertained! And there’s plenty for the kids to do at the campsite too. With the water park, handicrafts, free children’s clubs and entertainment, kids get the VIP treatment at Sandaya!
Are you wondering what you and your special someone could do on a romantic holiday in Chambéry? The answer in three words: relaxation, outdoor pursuits and good food! Start the day with a hike to take in the stunning landscapes. Then head back into town for a tour of the Fine Arts Museum and a visit to Jean-Jacques Rousseau’s country home.
Follow that up with some well-deserved relaxation and balneotherapy in the town’s spas. Then bring the day to a close with a romantic dinner for two, sampling the best of the local produce. With wine, cheese and charcuterie, there’s plenty to make your mouth water in Chambéry!
If you’re into water sports, the natural lakes of Le Bourget and Aiguebelette are the ideal spot – who could resist their gorgeous emerald-coloured water?
Nature lovers will be keen to explore the three natural parks nearby. A great way to breathe in some fresh air and recharge your batteries!
On the first and third Saturday every month, listen to one of the world’s largest carillons, with its 70 bells, play a concert of musical masterpieces.
Make sure you try Croziflette, an alternative to the traditional tartiflette, made from baked Reblochon cheese and crozets, the typical Savoyard pasta. Pure cheesy heaven!
