Chambéry-Savoie Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Chambéry-Savoie, used mainly for seasonal flights to the ski resorts, is 8 km from the city: a taxi takes 15-20 minutes, more if there's traffic on the A41 between 16:00 and 18:00, while the shuttle to the Gare takes about 20 minutes. Those with just a carry-on who want to get off close to the train find it convenient to stay next to the station; those stopping to visit Chambéry add a few minutes for the historic centre. Those who prefer greenery to a city hotel can move to the surrounding countryside, 5 minutes by car, where there's a fourteenth-century manor converted into a hotel with a park and pool.
