Live
the tipi adventure
in the Bauges

Who hasn’t dreamt of falling asleep in a tipi, lulled to sleep by the crackle of the campfire, in a “Dances with Wolves” atmosphere? There’s no need to cross the Atlantic: at Savoie Grand Revard, adventure is just around the corner.

Here, authenticity and comfort go hand in hand: slatted bed base, extreme-cold sleeping bags (-18°C), wood-burning stove… Everything is designed to work its magic, without you ever shivering.

The tipi village is open all year round, even in the snow, and can accommodate up to 34 people. With friends, family or to celebrate an unusual birthday, it’s the promise of a night to remember.

And the little extra? On-site sanitary facilities for practicality, a campfire for atmosphere, stars for poetry… and zero mosquitoes for peace and quiet.

Bivouac
in the depths
of the Bauges

Ready for a night out of time? Head underground with Karst 3E’s cavers for a unique experience: a bivouac in a cave in the heart of the Bauges massif, a UNESCO World Geopark.

The descent is safe, guided and full of discoveries: mysterious concretions, discreet fauna, Savoyard anecdotes… Then comes the magical moment of settling into your sleeping bag in the hollow of the rock.

On the menu: a comforting Savoyard meal, a unique atmosphere and absolute silence, disturbed only by the breathing of the earth. It’s a rare, almost initiatory experience, offering a surprisingly good night’s sleep.

The little extra? The communicative passion of the guides, who transform this underground adventure into an unforgettable journey.

Introduction to caving in Bauges

Futuristic driving
in the vineyards of Savoie

Imagine yourself standing on a small electric vessel, silently gliding along, hair blowing in the wind, amidst the golden vines… Welcome to the world of the gyropod, a futuristic means of transport that blends in perfectly with the gentle Savoyard landscapes.

Departing from Lake Saint-André, a Natura 2000 listed jewel, or from the charming wine-growing village of Chignin, set off on an unusual electric ride through vineyards, hills and Alpine panoramas. The activity is accessible to all (from 40 kg), even those with reduced mobility: a great idea for an outing with family or friends.

The little extra? Absolute silence: you can glide silently, without polluting the air or disturbing the wildlife. A moment of freedom, nature and simple pleasure.

Pedal
for pleasure
and fondue

A breath of fresh air, warming calves and the promise of a reward at the end of the trail… Welcome to the Creux de Lachat refuge, in the heart of the Bauges massif, for a micro-adventure that combines sport, nature and good food.

Departing from the Revard, Arith or Saint-François-de-Sales resorts, hop on your mountain bike (or electric bike) and follow the signposted trails. Up there, everything falls into place: the panoramic view, the warm atmosphere of the refuge and the Savoyard dishes that comfort you after your effort.

The little extra? The climb itself: between impressive cliffs and valleys worthy of a film set, it’s like being in the Lord of the Rings. There’s no doubt about it, the Cœur des Bauges is a life-size Comté.
