Heart of Savoy Ajouter aux favoris

A nature destination a stone's throw from Chambéry

Want to breathe, slow down, get a taste of the real thing? Just 20 minutes from Chambéry, Cœur de Savoie welcomes you between the Bauges, Chartreuse and Belledonne mountain ranges. Here, the valley (the “combe”) rubs shoulders with the mountains, the landscapes open out onto vineyards on sometimes steep slopes, villages with character, secret lakes… and a deeply sincere art of living.

Accessible by car, bike or train from Chambéry, Cœur de Savoie is a vibrant countryside, the backdrop to a region rich in flavours and encounters.

Getting there

Terroir and vineyards A journey to savour

Welcome to one of Savoie’s oldest vineyards! On sun-drenched hillsides, the vines give life to typical grape varieties: Mondeuse, Jacquère, Roussanne, Altesse… Push open the door of a cellar, talk to the winegrowers and let yourself be guided by the passion and precision of these craftsmen of taste.

But here, the terroir is not limited to wine. Cheeses, cured meats, honeys and fruit are also generously served. Whether on a hike or at a local market, each bite tells a true story, rooted in the land.

Villages and heritage The soul of rural Savoie

The villages of the Cœur de Savoie have retained the authenticity of mountain life. Montmélian, Arvillard, La Rochette, Saint-Pierre-d’Albigny, Myans… each has its own discreet but precious heritage: churches, stone houses and living traditions.

Don’t miss a visit to the Château de Miolans, with its exceptional views from Mont Blanc to the Vercors!

Cœur de Savoie x Chambéry Montagnes An inspiring alliance

Cœur de Savoie is the natural companion to Chambéry Montagnes. Where Chambéry tells the story of the Dukes of Burgundy, Cœur de Savoie cultivates the memory of the peasants and the soul of the winegrowers. Together, they create an Alpine elixir in which every ingredient – nature, culture, flavour – has its place.

So, shall we take you away? For a day, a weekend or more… Come and sample this hinterland, like a well-kept secret, at a market, on a trail or for a tasting session.
