HAUTECOMBE ABBEY
Still in activity, the Hautecombe Abbey is located in Saint-Pierre-de-Curtille on the “wild” shore of Bourget Lake.
It was founded during the 12th century by Cistercian monks and is today particularly known for being the necropolis of the House of Savoy (Counts of Savoy, their family, and some members of the ducal family of Savoy) then of some kings and queens of Italy.
CHANAZ AND SAVIÈRES CANAL
Have a stroll through the village of Chanaz and along the Savières canal. This small stream is one of the few rivers in Europe whose course can be completely and naturally reversed during the Rhône floods.
This therefore raises the level of the lake by several meters when it is in flood.
You’ll enjoy the village of Chanaz with beautiful places offering plenty of activities on or by the canal.
