Other resources
When you come to the lodge, you will most certainly cross important commercial areas. We have located on the map below the closest and most interesting areas, according to us:
- area 1: the closest and most accessible; less than 8 km (13 minutes) and a single red light on the way, you will find in this area a supermarket of large size, but still “human”, with many services on site or very close
- area 2: large area distributed on both sides of the old national road from Chambéry. At 9 km and in about 16 minutes, you will find the hypermarket of the eastern Chambery and many other brands in various fields: sports shops, food, DIY, car accessories, etc. Traffic on the main road is often very congested, with many traffic lights.
- area 3: small commercial area, on the road to the South (8.3 km and 13 minutes), has the main interest of being able to do food shopping on Sunday morning.
