From lakes to mountains

From the shores of the four large lakes to the highest summits of the Alps, Savoie Mont Blanc covers the “départements” of Savoie and Haute-Savoie. Snow white, lake blue and meadow green are the colours of our seasons. Truly made for skiing, these mountains harbour some of the world’s most beautiful descents. The first long weekends of spring are an invitation to stride out along our hiking trails, dive into the turquoise waters of the lakes, cycle up mountain passes and soar from the summits with a paraglider. From the Aiguille du Midi cable car to the Esseillon Forts, from the waterfalls of Sixt to the Vanoise National Park, nature, history, traditions and culture combine to form a magnificent region that can be explored all year round.
