A morning in the mountains, an afternoon by the lake
That's one of the joys of a holiday around Chambéry: the scenery changes without having to travel far.
In the morning, head for the trails of the Bauges or Chartreuse for a hike, a bike ride or simply to enjoy the views. A few hours later, you can spread out your towel beside Lake Bourget and go for a swim.
Hiking, mountain biking, cycling, water sports or a relaxing day at the campsite: plan each day according to your mood and the weather.
It's a freedom that's particularly welcome on a family holiday, when everyone may have a slightly different idea of the perfect day.
Chambéry deserves a day without hiking boots too
Between outdoor adventures, take some time to discover Chambéry itself.
The historic centre of Chambéry is perfect for a full or half-day visit. Old streets, squares, passageways and historic buildings reveal another side of Savoie, away from the peaks but deeply connected to the region's history.
This proximity is precisely what makes a camping holiday near Chambéry so appealing: the city is never far from nature, and nature is never far from the city.
Explore wide-open landscapes and local heritage during the day, then return to your campsite to spend the evening outdoors.
Where will your base camp be?
Around Chambéry, everyone can enjoy camping their own way.
Families will appreciate the comfort of a mobile home or chalet, especially for stays of a week or more. A swimming pool, playground or on-site activities can also make evenings at the campsite an enjoyable part of the holiday.
With a tent, caravan, campervan or motorhome, a camping pitch gives you that extra sense of freedom that suits the destination perfectly.
Location also shapes the experience: some will prefer to stay close to Chambéry, while others may choose to be nearer the mountains or in a quieter setting surrounded by nature.
A holiday for all the family
Around Chambéry, there's no need to plan every day a week in advance.
An easy walk, a day at the lake, a bike ride, a visit to the city or simply a few hours by the campsite pool: the variety of the surrounding area makes it easy to adapt each day to the family's mood.
