On the 8th February 1992, Albertville was projected into the limelight by the XVI^thWinter Olympic Games - the town's name was spoken with accents from all over the world. Albertville became the meeting place for all those driven by the Olympic ideals.

During this period, the people of Albertville developed a taste and an expertise for organising different sporting events at national and international levels.

Over 10 years after the event, full use continues to be made of the Olympic facilities here.

Visitors, school children, clubs and the people of Albertville share the use of these superb installations and follow in the footsteps of champions.

Albertville offers a wide choice of cycling routes for tourism, at varying levels of difficulty from flat, to hilly, to challenging, to athletic! Whether you take a valley route along the foot of the vineyards, or whether you attempt the steep climbs up to the passes, you will find yourself surrounded by inspiring and breathtaking landscapes.
