What is Savoie Grand Revard

Savoie Grand Revard is not a downhill resort with some cross-country on the side — it is the reverse. On the Bauges massif plateau, 'sometimes nicknamed 'Little Canada'', three gateways — La Féclaz (Les Déserts), Le Revard and Saint-François-de-Sales — open '150 km of Nordic ski trails', groomed for skating and classic, doubled by some 60 km of snowshoe routes. On the domain's rank, the official sites do not say the same thing: 'France's busiest Nordic area' per savoienordic.com, 'recognised as one of Europe's finest' and 'a Nordic skiing benchmark' per chamberymontagnes.com — we quote each formula. The Nordic snowmaking network is given as 'France's largest'.

Alpine exists, at its own scale: '30 km of runs over two sectors', 26 mostly-blue runs, 2 chairlifts, 2 carpets and 4 drag lifts — a learning domain 30 minutes from Chambéry and 35 from Aix-les-Bains. Winter stretches beyond skiing: biathlon, dog sledding, yooner, snow fatbiking, and the 'Hibou evenings' night skiing 'every Tuesday and Thursday evening, from 5 pm to 8:30 pm'.
