Albertville, a mountain town where sport and culture go hand in hand in an exceptional environment.
This sub-prefecture is located in the heart of Savoie, close to ski resorts, mountain ranges and prestigious lakes. It's an ideal base camp for many a visit.
Host to the XVI Olympic Winter Games in 1992, Albertville has retained its friendly, sporting spirit. The facilities built for and after the Olympic Games welcome numerous teams for training camps and sporting events.
It's also a lively cultural and historical environment, with concerts, shows, festivals, street entertainment...
Albertville is also home to the medieval town of Conflans, built on a rocky spur overlooking the town. A well-known stopover on the road to Italy since antiquity, its history is linked to the House of the Dukes of Savoy. The Musée d'Art et d'Histoire houses documents and objects that bear witness to the town's rich past.
A heritage, a history, the mountains - everything you need for an ideal stay in the heart of the Savoie region...
