With traveldirectorynet and our unique flight comparison engine, you can find cheap hotels and cheap flights to Chambery. Chambery is situated between the Bauges massif and the Chartreuse mountain range, in the cluse that bears its name. To the south the town stretches out to the vineyards on the hillsides of the Combe of Savoy ; to the north it almost reaches the shores of Lake Bourget — France's largest natural lake.
In former centuries, the growth of Chambery was closely linked to the fortune of the House of Savoy, one of Europe's oldest ruling families, dating from the 11th century. From 1295 to 1563, the Savoys elected the town as their capital, mainly because of its situation at the crossroads of the Alpine traffic between France, Italy and Switzerland.
Traditionally an administrative and commercial center, the town has taken advantage of the surge connected with the 1992 Winter Olympics of Albertville to strengthen its position and assert its role as Alpine heartland of Europe.
