Le Château de Candie offers a glamorous yet relaxing break. Located just over three miles from the centre of Chambéry, the luxury four-star château (with 25 spacious rooms) blends past and present seamlessly to create a memorable stay.
Guests can admire the beautiful architecture, enjoy the exceptional views across the valley, make the most of the outdoor pool and wander through the castle’s own vineyard, which yields approximately 3,000 bottles of wine each year.
Although keen skiers and snowboarders can drive to the nearby resorts of Méribel and La Plagne in less than 90 minutes, why not stay closer to ‘home’ and discover the 67.6 km of pistes in the Arrondissement of Chambéry that reach up to 1,785 m?
The seven resorts – the biggest, and highest, being Aillons-Margériaz with 24 km of runs accessed by 12 ski lifts – are ideal for leisurely skiers, with day lift passes costing from €19 pp.
After exploring the slopes, enjoy a delicious meal at La Cantine, an informal but high-quality bistro, or L’Orangerie, a gourmet restaurant offering set taster menus and a wide variety of local wine and cheese.
A week’s stay, from 11 March 2019, costs from £265.50 pp (£531 total – was £1,010 total, saving 47%) for two people sharing a classic room on a B&B basis.
