Our campsite in Savoie is a real family campsite where young and old alike will never be bored. The campsite is part of the Saint Pierre d’Albigny leisure centre in Savoie and is located between Chambéry and Albertville. The site borders directly on the Lac de Carouge and the mountainous environment of the French Alps (the campsite is at the foot of the Arclusaz and the Bauges Massif) offers plenty of opportunities for excursions. Superb walks in the Parc Naturel Régional des Bauges are also possible. We organise various activities for guests, but you can of course also go off on your own. Don’t hesitate to ask us for information during your stay, we’re always happy to help.
Children's play area
There is a small play area on the campsite with a swing, slide and spring games. There is also a sports field with a volleyball net, basketball hoop and mini football cages. Around the campsite, you’ll also find plenty of other sports to enjoy (golf, tennis…).
Lake Carouge
The campsite borders directly on Lake Carouge, a small, relatively unknown lake in Savoie. Here, you won’t be swamped by tourists, but you will be among the locals. There’s a lovely beach with lifeguard surveillance during the season. A small swimming area for the little ones is set up in front of the lifeguard station so that everyone can enjoy a safe swim. The water is so crystal-clear that you can see little fish swimming by your feet (the lake has been awarded the ‘blue flag’ label since 2018) and the temperature is a pleasant 16° to 20° C. The campsite beach is very flat, which is ideal for children.
You can, of course, fish in the lake. You can buy a permit in the village or online by clicking on this link. Lac de Carouge offers a wide variety of fish for anglers.
Around Lac de Carouge, you can enjoy a nice walk along the banks. You can also hire pedalos, small boats or paddles on the lake for a ride on the water.

This outdoor pool has a wonderful water temperature of around 25°C. There are 3 pools, including a 50-metre Olympic pool and a children’s pool and paddling pool for the little ones.

Canyoning
The most fun activity in our region is canyoning. You can wander along the water in beautiful gorges, sliding, jumping and walking, abseiling down superb waterfalls, swimming, sliding and jumping. From May to September, the campsite organises canyoning trips under the supervision of an experienced instructor. This activity usually lasts half a day. All our guests (even the less adventurous among them) return with their heads full of memories.
Via ferrata
Mountain hiking and climbing have long been very popular in the Alps. However, the via ferrata, which literally means ‘iron road’, is gaining in popularity. In this activity, you walk and climb along a pre-established, safe route. Remaining safe throughout, the route includes various aids to facilitate the climb, such as iron ladders, staircases and footbridges. A stimulating activity that takes you to some of the most beautiful spots in our beautiful region. There are some wonderful routes in the area around the campsite, so don’t hesitate to ask us for information and book your session with our guide Bastien.
Rafting
One of the most popular activities in the Alps is rafting, where you float down the river on an inflatable raft. Rafting trips on the Isère are organised about 45 minutes’ drive away, near Aime. Service providers offer varying lengths of experience, depending on your level and preferences. The itineraries are varied and include areas of calm water, where you can let yourself go and marvel at the surrounding nature, but also various rapids that are still very easy to access.
For beginners or those looking for more of a challenge, there’s something for everyone on the longer routes.
Tree climbing
There are several climbing parks in the area. An activity for all the family, where you move through the trees on a safe course. The various parks offer routes of varying levels, with heights ranging from 1 metre to 20 metres above the ground. And you’ll always be sure of your safety.
Riding
The surrounding area is ideal for horse riding. Whether your route takes you along the slopes of the mountain, through the vineyards or through the forest, you are always guaranteed impressive views and a magnificent landscape.
The nearest riding school is 6 km away, in the village of Cruet. Information on horse riding excursions (individually or under supervision) can be obtained from reception.
Paragliding
The beautiful Savoie countryside is perfect for paragliding. In the region, it is possible to familiarise yourself with this spectacular sport. Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll fly through the air as freely as a bird. Tour prices depend on departure altitude and length of flight.
