    Tips

    The Canal de Savière in Chanaz, with its waterfront promenade running on wooden planks over the water, is a particularly beautiful place. Here you can have a good time in the restaurant and watch the boats traveling on the 3.5 km long canal to Lac de Bourget.

      The four-kilometer-long canal serves as a natural outlet for the waters of Lake Bourget toward the Rhône, and vice versa when the river is in flood. Over the years, it has been widened, rectified, and cleaned to improve the passage of commercial and passenger ships. In the last century, this was an important trade route.
