Combe de Savoie

The valley extends for 40 kilometers between the Bauges Mountains and the Lauzière massif, following the course of the Isère River at 300 meters elevation.

The discovery of a Roman milestone from 285 CE near Chignin indicates the presence of an ancient road connecting Vienne to Milan through this valley.

The valley contains numerous vineyards on the sunny slopes of the Bauges massif, producing wines under controlled origin appellations from local grape varieties.

The region offers 270 kilometers of mountain biking trails certified by the French Cycling Federation, connecting multiple communes including Montmélian and Albertville.

Local nurseries produce 20 million vine plants annually, making Savoie the second-largest producer of vine seedlings in France.
