Close to Lake Annecy, the Massif des Bauges Regional Nature Park is a territory as mysterious as it is rejuvenating. It is a hiker's paradise! So go for a hike (on foot, by bike, on horseback, on skis...) and enjoy the beauty and authenticity of the landscapes...
In 2011, the park was awarded the international "Geopark" label, in recognition of its outstanding geological heritage.
Discovering Albertville
Albertville, a Savoyard town with a population of around 19 500, enjoys a privileged location in the heart of the Alps, in the beautiful Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Let yourself be seduced by its many assets during your stay at Brit Hotel Le Florimont.
Albertville has been awarded the "Ville d'art et d'histoire" label since 2003 and has a wealth of historical sites to discover. For example, you can take the circuit of the fortifications of the Albertville region: start with the remains of the Tourmotte, an ancient feudal mound from the 11th century, dominating a small old village. Continue higher, discover the Fort de Tarnié and its acrofort, then continue by climbing to 144m altitude to the Fort de la Batterie facing the Mont-Blanc, where you will have an unobstructed view of the Ugine valley. To finish, dominate the Albertville region at an altitude of 1,130m, by visiting the Fort du Mont.
The medieval town of Conflans is also one of Albertville's must-see sites. Let yourself be seduced by the intact charm of this 14th century enclosure, its traditional facades and its fountains through guided, free or audio-guided tours, offering versions for adults and children. For example, you can visit the Museum of Art and History located in the Maison Rouge, only a few kilometres from our hotel between Annecy and Albertville.
Albertville is a key event in the history of the town, which hosted the Winter Olympic Games in February 1992 and has kept traces of this event ever since: you can relive this era on a self-guided tour, starting from the town centre and ending at the Olympic Park, to discover, among other things, the House of the Olympic Games (a museum that retraces the adventure of the Olympic Games in Savoie), the DOME cultural complex, the Olympic cauldron and the headquarters of the OCOG.
What to do in Albertville?
During the winter period, many outdoor activities are available to you, especially for those who love to slide! At the top of the Albertville region, enjoy winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing or tobogganing at the resorts of La Sambuy, Val de Tamié or Les Rafforts. In the summer, everyone will find something to do thanks to the many choices of nature activities available to you: You can climb the summits on an Alpine hike, go horseback riding in the mountains, go mountain biking towards Beaufortain and the Val d'Arly, take the bike route towards Lake Annecy, admire the fauna and flora on a hike, discover the agricultural and wine-growing traditions on the hillsides or, if you like the unusual, you can take a big breath of fresh air by taking part in an accompanied ride on an urban or off-road Gyropod Segway, on circuits lasting from 1 to 3 hours and based on original themes! And if you prefer to take to the water, you can try your hand at water-skiing at the lake of Ste-Hélène-sur-Isère, canyoning, rafting, wakeboarding or water-skiing on the Montailleur lake, not far from our hotel near Albertville.
Let yourself be tempted by the authentic and friendly Savoyard cuisine during your stay in Albertville! Among the main products, discover Savoyard cheeses such as Beaufort, Reblochon or Abondance, taste regional dishes such as Savoyard fondue, croziflette or péla and finish on a sweet note by tasting Bugnes or a blueberry tart.
On the wine side, Savoy wines such as Apremont, Chignin or Crépy are a perfect accompaniment to these regional specialities.
