Saint-Christophe, Mountain commune in Savoie, France
Saint-Christophe is a commune in the French Alps of Savoie with varied mountain terrain and different elevations. The area encompasses rural settlements and farmland spread across hilly landscape.
The commune became part of France in 1860 when the region of Savoie was transferred from the Kingdom of Sardinia. This event marked a turning point in the area's political history.
Local residents practice traditional Alpine farming centered on dairy production, which shapes the character of the area. These activities remain central to daily life and community identity.
The commune provides basic services to its small population through a town hall. Visitors will find a typical rural setting without extensive tourist facilities.
The commune is part of the CC Cœur de Chartreuse intercommunal group, which connects it with neighboring towns. This partnership enables shared projects for regional development across the area.
