Famous Wines of Savoie
The most famous wines are made of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Mondeuse grapes. Fruit production is the third most significant component of agriculture in Savoie. The region also produces apples and pears, renowned for their exceptional quality. The Isère River crosses the department, rising in the Iseran Pass. Its two main lakes are Lac du Bourget (the largest and deepest lake in France) and Lac d'Aiguebelette, among the least polluted in France because a law prohibits motorboats.
Charming Chambéry
Chambéry, the capital of the Savoie department, is a charming city with a rich past, Alpine culture and a small international airport. The city's old town, with its narrow streets and colourful buildings, is a delight to explore.Visitors can also admire the stunning Château des Ducs de Savoie, a former residence of the Savoyard dukes, and the elegant Place des Éléphants, a square featuring a famous fountain with four lifelike elephant sculptures.
Tourism’s Economic Impact
According to the Chamber of Commerce in Chambéry, tourism accounts for nearly 50% of the department's wealth. Each year, Savoie hosts over 30 million visitor nights from around the world, including from Britain, Germany, America, Denmark, Sweden, and many other countries with a history of enjoying winter sports and outdoor activities.Tourism, which is quite important to Savoie, began to develop towards the end of the 19th century. The increase in skiing popularity in the 20th century made Savoie home to the largest number of ski resorts in France, including Val-d'Isère, Tignes, Les Arcs, La Plagne, Courchevel, Méribel, Les Menuires, Val-Thorens and many more.
Year-Round Outdoor Activities
Beyond winter sports, the Savoie department offers a range of outdoor activities, including hiking, mountain biking, and paragliding, amid its stunning mountain landscapes.Vanoise National Park, France's first national park, is a must-visit destination for nature lovers.
