Verel-Pragondran

Verel-Pragondran is known in Savoie for uniting the former communes of Verel and Pragondran on the uplands above Chambéry. The settlement lies beneath Mont Nivolet, a 1,547-metre summit of the Massif des Bauges, where the Croix du Nivolet forms a conspicuous landmark over the Chambéry area. Meadows, woodland and scattered hamlets give the commune a distinctly rural character, even though Chambéry is close by. Its position marks the transition from the city’s basin to the higher Bauges country; Lac du Bourget, France’s largest natural lake entirely within the country, lies to the northwest. The names of its two constituent villages preserve the story of the modern commune. Discover further points of interest through webcams across Savoie and the Bauges.
