Hiking in the Bauges, days at Lake Bourget, a spa cure in Aix-les-Bains, skiing in winter, Savoie food and markets: our advice for making the most of the area from our duplex in La Motte-Servolex.
From the Croix du Nivolet to Margériaz, the classic walks of the massif, for every level, all within an hour of our place.
Swimming, the boat to Hautecombe Abbey, Chanaz and the Savières canal, cycling along the shore: the lake is about 15 minutes from the duplex.
A quiet duplex with a ground-floor bedroom, a fully equipped kitchen and a garden, about 20 minutes from the spas of Aix-les-Bains and Challes-les-Eaux.
Cross-country skiing and snowshoeing at La Féclaz and Le Revard, downhill at Margériaz, and the big Tarentaise and Maurienne resorts about an hour away.
Tome des Bauges, Chambéry market and the vineyards of Jongieux, Chignin and Apremont: what to try, and where to find it, around our duplex.
In late October, the Nivolet cliffs turn red every evening across from the terrace and the Bauges forests are taking on their colours. Our ideas for making the most of these quieter days.
