A-class motorhome routes out of Chambéry

The D912 climbs to the Col du Granier and tips over into the Chartreuse massif, one of the finest balcony drives in the Prealps, half an hour away. The circuit of Lac du Bourget, France’s largest natural lake, takes an hour and a half via Aix-les-Bains and Hautecombe abbey; the A43 runs up the Maurienne towards the great Alpine passes. On the lake circuit, the Aix-les-Bains aire offers 71 pitches with dump station and electricity, and the Féclaz one, at 1,000 metres in the Bauges, 40 fully equipped pitches: two handy bases that save coming back down each evening.

Where to go by A-class motorhome around Chambéry

Aix-les-Bains and Lac du Bourget are a quarter of an hour away, Annecy and its lake forty-five minutes. Allow half an hour for the heart of the Bauges massif and the Plainpalais pass road, an hour for the Chartreuse and Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, and an hour and a half for the mouths of the Tarentaise and Maurienne valleys. Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, at the heart of the massif, has an equipped 16-pitch aire 700 metres from the village, which settles the overnight question where wild camping is banned.

Is it easy to drive and park in Chambéry?

An alpine crossroads with no urban traps: the ring road and the A43 distribute the Bauges, the Chartreuse and the Maurienne. The Fréjus and Mont-Blanc tunnels bill motorhomes in a higher class — expect double a car’s fare. In the massifs, decent roads; winter equipment is mandatory in the mountain zone from November 1 to March 31. Low-emission zones, on the other hand, are nothing to worry about: a rental motorhome or van is a Euro 6 diesel, hence Crit’Air 2, and no French low-emission zone restricts that level to date. The real local constraints remain winter equipment and the size-based tolls in the Alpine tunnels.
