Albertville and the Savoyard heritage
Albertville isn’t just known for the 1992 Olympics! This town of Alpine charm has so much more to offer: start at the historic heart with Conflans, a picturesque medieval village where every cobbled alleyway tells a piece of history. Stroll between the colourful houses, admire the old carved wooden doors and stop off at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire to learn more about the region. Here, you’ll immerse yourself in the Savoyard atmosphere of yesteryear, between preserved architecture and breathtaking mountain scenery.

Looking for a breathtaking panorama? Climb to the Col de Tamié, where the view of the surrounding mountains is simply incredible. A little further on, the Parc National de la Vanoise will delight keen hikers, with a flora and fauna that is unique in France.
Lakes and rivers for a refreshing break
Looking for a refreshing break? The area around Albertville is dotted with lakes and rivers, perfect for a nature break. Lake Annecy, a blue jewel nestling between the mountains, is just 30 minutes away by car. Ideal for a relaxing day out with family or friends: swimming, paddle-boarding or even a leisurely cruise. Closer by, you’ll also find little spots of river, perfect for a picnic with your feet in the water. A real paradise for nature lovers!
Grignon lake
Nestling just a few minutes from Albertville, the Grignon lake is a little corner of paradise, ideal for relaxing or unwinding in the heart of nature. Set in lush green surroundings, this lake is ideal for a day out with family or friends. You can relax by the water’s edge, enjoy an impromptu picnic in the countryside, or take advantage of its beach for safe swimming. It’s also a paradise for hikers and preachers: there’s something for everyone, in a friendly atmosphere!
Arêches Beaufort adventure park
On a family side, Albertville and the surrounding area is full of parks and activities for you and your children to discover. From animal parks to discovery trails and leisure centres, there’s something for all ages! For a fun-filled afternoon, try the adventure park at Arêches-Beaufort, half an hour’s drive away. Young and old alike will enjoy a day full of laughter and adrenalin.
A gourmet dive into the heart of Savoie
Food lovers beware! Savoie is also a land of flavours. As you stroll through the villages around the campsite, you’re sure to come across a few good restaurants where you can enjoy a Savoyard fondue, a tartiflette gratin or crozet diots. And for the more curious, Albertville has a number of typical markets where you can meet local producers and discover artisanal products. The ultimate dream for all cheese lovers!
Culture and local festivities
Summer is also the ideal time to immerse yourself in local culture. Don’t miss the Festival des Arts de la Rue in July, when artists of all kinds take over the town centre to put on surprising and sometimes offbeat shows. For a more authentic atmosphere, head for the Fête de la Montagne in August, with its music, folk dances and Savoyard gastronomy. And of course, Savoie means cheese! Make the most of the opportunity to discover local specialities such as Savoyard fondue, even in the middle of summer – after all, there’s no season for gourmet delights, is there?
