Located between Albertville and Faverges, at 1000 meters above sea level, the Fort of Tamié offers you a walking trail and picnic areas with breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and mountain ranges.
ACCESS TO THE FORT: 2€ per person
OPEN 7/7 from June 28 to August 31.
This is the most important of the forts built at the mouth of the Alpine valleys by France in the 19th century. Built in 1876 by 600 Italian workers, it commanded the Albertville square.
Before Savoie became part of France (1860), it had few fortifications. The French government therefore commissioned General Séré de Rivières to build a number of fortifications, including Fort de Tamié, to defend access to the borders.
The fort's strategic interest lies in its geographical position, with surveillance from all directions and defense of access routes. Its enclosure included several artillery battery positions concealed in the folds of land. Troops were housed in casemates and caves dug into the rock.
An adventure course, a children's playground, audio-guided historical tours, a snack bar and a regional produce store for gourmets are available on site.
Opening periods in August also from September to November 2, 2025, from 12 PM to 7 PM. Opening hours and days to come after the summer season.
