Outside the ski season, the département is particularly popular with active holidaymakers and lovers of beautiful nature. There are fanatical cyclists who make challenging climbs up the high mountains. Would you like to cycle in the region, but have less experience? Then you can do it in the valley around the mountains. During bike rides, you’ll have a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains and you’ll be able to cool off in a stream or lake along the way.
Canyoning

Canyoning: unforgettable holidays in the Alps!
Camping in Savoie is an unforgettable experience. You can have it both ways with a holiday in this beautiful region. Of course, the French Alps are the ideal holiday destination for long-distance walkers and mountaineers. But there’s more to camping in Savoie than that. Choose this region for a romantic holiday with your partner or an adventurous trip with the whole family. Older children in particular will enjoy the activities in these magnificent landscapes. If you’re travelling with younger children, it’s best to choose a campsite with a full entertainment programme like ours. That way, you’ll have a great holiday and your children won’t have time to get bored with us…
Canyoning is one of the most fun activities around. You travel through canyons and use different techniques to progress. You can hike in some parts, but you can also climb, jump, swim or abseil down these steep canyons in complete safety.
Take advantage of a natural slide to let yourself slide into clear pools of water, jump in complete safety thanks to an experienced guide in the middle of the rocks and let yourself go with the flow of the river… What a programme, isn’t it?
Do you really want to experience this kind of adventure during your holiday? The area around the campsite has a great selection of sites where you can discover or learn more about this activity, starting with the aquatic hike at Curienne and going on to the more sporting and sensational route of the aptly named ‘Pont du Diable’. There’s something for everyone. In general, you should be at least 8 years old, but above all you should be very comfortable in the water and be able to swim well.
Our guide will provide you with all the equipment you need to enjoy this activity in complete safety. It’s a very family-friendly activity, and on some routes you can avoid certain difficulties if you don’t feel comfortable. It’s also possible for one person to follow the others without even taking part in the activity.
The various starting points are in the Bauges, between 30 and 40 minutes from the campsite. Our guide will be happy to make arrangements with you to ensure that your arrival on site takes place in the best possible conditions. What’s more, he’ll be on hand at the welcome drink on Sunday evenings in high season to answer any questions you may have.
Get to know the mountains and rivers!
Most visitors choose a holiday in our beautiful département for the activities. Are you a real adrenaline junkie? Then you won’t be bored here! There are plenty of exciting activities in the region. This makes the region ideal for holidays with older children. They’re sure to be impressed by one of the many other exciting activities in the area.
Rafting is a must for all the family. With this activity, you tame the wild mountain rivers under the guidance of a guide. The boat has an inflatable rim, so small waterfalls and rocks are no problem. From the water, you have a magnificent view of the mountains and discover the region from a new angle.
Alternatively, you can take a multi-day excursion. Climb the mountains and sleep under a sail in the evening. The advantage of a guided tour is that you don’t have to worry about the route and getting lost in the mountains. What’s more, the guide can help you with the different techniques and, if necessary, give you instructions. Are you going on the route with (older) children? Then it’s also good to know that additional advice is available. Taking a long trip through the French Alps is an unforgettable experience. At the end of this fantastic journey, camping is like a whirlpool. So always combine climbing with a stay at a nearby campsite!
The last special activity in the region is Via Ferrata. Here you follow a route along the side of the mountain over steps, supports, pine trees and rope bridges. A steel cable keeps you safe along the way. The iron aids make this activity interesting for people with less mountaineering experience. This way, you can always reach beautiful spots and experience the mountains like a real mountaineer!
The ideal destination for sporty holidaymakers
Savoie isn’t just about skiing, snowshoeing and raclette or fondue in the evening. It’s also about breathtakingly beautiful scenery, fun and entertaining activities, and local, well-balanced cuisine.
