Converted van hire in Chambéry

The converted van (Fiat Ducato, Adria Twin, Pössl…) is the sweet spot in Chambéry: barely bulkier than a campervan, it adds real standing height, a wet room with shower and a permanent bed in the back. It is the favourite of couples on long trips — self-sufficient, discreet and parkable on a space and a half.

Converted van 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.

When to rent a converted van in Chambéry

In winter, France’s mountain law requires winter tyres or chains, and the great passes such as the Iseran and Galibier stay closed from autumn until early summer; on February half-term Saturdays the Tarentaise roads jam notoriously. From June to September, lakes, high pastures and cols are at their best, with an August peak around the lakes.

What is worth seeing within a few hours of Chambéry?

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.
