    Located at the crossroads of the valleys between Chambéry, Albertville and Grenoble, Cœur de Savoie is a territory of life where inhabitants and passing visitors rub shoulders.

    Heart of Savoy 

    It is a natural playground made up of lakes, rivers, forests and valleys punctuated by typical villages but also by vineyards and mountain peaks. Located on the foothills of the three massifs that make up its identity (the Bauges, the Chartreuse and the Belledonne massif) it welcomes young and old, sportsmen and contemplatives, gourmets and epicureans by revealing, according to the activities it offers, its splendid panoramas on the alpine massifs.

    A little bit of history

    Historically located on the border between the kingdom of Piedmont Sardinia and the kingdom of France, the Cœur de Savoie territory is a place of passage steeped in history.

    From this tumultuous past remains castles, fortified towns, towers and fortified houses... It is also a testimony of the know-how of yesteryear that this endearing and authentic territory offers us, through its ancestral agricultural traditions which drew the landscapes (dry stone walls, sartots, virgin vines). The glacial formation of the valleys and the containment of the Isère today allow a gripping reading of its history, and to understand the formation and evolution of the Alpine massifs.
