The easily accessible mountain Savoie Grand Revard:

Imagine a landscape blanketed in white, the cool breeze on your face and the soft crunch of snow beneath your feet. You are in Savoie Grand Revard, nestled in the heart of the Bauges Massif, just a few bends from Chambéry. Here, you can experience the mountains in complete tranquillity, enjoying the simple pleasures of nature that is accessible, unspoilt and comforting.

A gentle, easily accessible mountain

You don’t need to be an expert skier or a seasoned mountaineer to enjoy the very best that Savoie Grand Revard has to offer. Thanks to the Synchro Montagne shuttle buses, you can reach the heart of the ski area stress-free, without a car, and without worrying about parking.

Sit back and relax, watch the snow-covered landscapes roll by outside the windows… and let the magic happen.

Here, a break from it all is right at your fingertips. Beginners and those seeking tranquillity alike will find what they’re looking for in this welcoming, sun-drenched mountain range, where walking trails run alongside cross-country ski trails.

Snowshoe hiking Finding your own path gently

Fancy a gentle bit of exercise? Why not go for a snowshoe walk or a hike along the signposted trails starting from the centre of La Féclaz? A 9 km circular route takes you to the summit of the Orionde. Up there, a breathtaking panorama unfolds before you: Mont Blanc, Belledonne, Chartreuse… A wonderful reward for a gentle, accessible climb.

For lunch, dig your picnic out of your rucksack (special mention if you’ve brought some Tome des Bauges!), or simply follow the delicious aromas to the Chalet du Sire, a temple to Savoyard cuisine on the mountainside.

A word of advice: stick to the signposts, follow the footpaths, and leave the slopes to the skiers. Everyone has their own space, everyone has their own enjoyment.

Hike effortlessly thanks to the pedestrian chairlift

Good news for leisurely walkers: the Orionde chairlift is open to pedestrians. A great opportunity to gain some altitude without breaking a sweat, whilst enjoying exceptional views of the surrounding peaks.

Relaxation at the summit spa, culinary delights and pampering

Because hard work is always followed by a well-deserved treat, treat yourself to a wellness break atLe Repaire. A sauna, a jacuzzi, a zen atmosphere… everything you need to gently recharge your batteries.

Then head to Le Repaire’s crêperie, where Alexandra and Cédric welcome you with generous, creative cuisine, blending Savoyard recipes with Normandy-inspired touches. A truly delightful experience to share.

To take the relaxation experience even further, head to Les Cabanes de l’Ange: massages, Nordic baths, silence and nature… A secluded haven where time seems to slow down.
