The Rhone / French Alps / Haute-Savoie region
The Haute-Savoie region is in the north-eastern Alps on the Franco Swiss border, lying south of Lac Leman (Lake Geneva). Throughout the Savoie Haute-Savoie, you will discover natural surroundings that are as extraordinary as they are grandiose, with stunning lakes, valleys, mountain peaks and passes. You can explore these magnificent landscapes in the national and regional parks and nature reserves, where waterfalls, cirques and gorges add their own stunning contribution to the beauty of the Haute-Savoie.
Haute-Savoie is an outdoor lover's paradise, justifiably well known for skiing, you can also go rock climbing, walking, white water rafting and fishing. There are several golf courses within a 20 minute drive and the region offers many other activities, artistic, cultural and relaxing.
You can enjoy natural and man-made lakes in the region, whether you are interested in swimming, fishing, boating or simply contemplating the beauty of nature. In summer, why not enjoy a picnic alongside one of the region's numerous mountain lakes.
The regions rivers are full of trout and its lakes are home to many species of fish, including members of the salmon family and coarse fish, such as pike or perch.
Centuries of tradition and savoir-faire have created delicious local products and the restaurants are a gourmet's delight - fondues, tartiflettes, raclettes, berthod are all highly recommended. There are locally produced cheeses, sausages, wines and breads all to enjoy.
Should you need a City fix, there are beautiful places along the shores of Lac Leman including Geneva, Lausanne, Montreux and Evian-les-Bains-well known for its famous water. Yvoire is a beautiful medieval village. Chamonix, Mont Blanc and Annecy are all about an hour's drive.
