Travel & getting around
Getting to & around Haute-Savoie
Haute-Savoie can be reached through the wider road and rail network of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The most convenient arrival point will depend on where in the department you are staying.
A car is often the easiest way to combine towns, villages and countryside, particularly for holiday homes outside the larger centres.
Plan day trips geographically rather than by distance alone: local roads can be part of the experience, and allowing time for markets, viewpoints and spontaneous stops makes for a more relaxed holiday.
