Soaring into Chambery puts you close to three of the biggest ski areas in the world, with especially easy access to the Three Valleys. There are loads of resorts to choose from, many boasting glacial slopes, exciting snow parks and dramatic off-piste areas in Alpine playgrounds. How’s that for super skiing?
One thing that’s great about skiing in France is the food. Tempt your taste buds with local delicacies day and night. Good news for fromage fans – cheese and potatoes are two staples! And it wouldn’t be right without a fondue and a glass of red.
It wouldn’t be a trip to France without a castle visit. Château de Chambéry is a magnificent piece of local architecture, but you haven’t seen anything until the four animal statues of Fontaines des Éléphants come into view! Why not tick off the cathedral while you’re visiting?
