Spanning two alpine areas of France - Savoie and Haute-Savoie - Savoie Mont Blanc is home to some stunning scenery, from the snowy peaks of the towering Mont Blanc to the jagged peaks above Chamonix in the heart of the Alps.

​

The mountains give this place its lifeblood, its energy. This is a place of calm strength and quiet patience where the snow graces the rooftops as well as the mountains. Yet the region isn't solely a winter playground. In summer, Savoie Mont Blanc has another side: green slopes and bird song, rolling forest valleys and mountain lakes, wonderful woodland hikes and mountain trials, mountain biking and blissful outdoor swimming pools.
