Whats the best route to drive?

This route is better in bad weather as it is lower than the motorway, it is also shorter and generally quicker than the Chambery motorway and gives you a chance to stop at the big Shoppi supermarket just outside Annecy (car wash, cheaper fuel, snow chains, food etc). If you are coming from Paris turn off just after Macon in the direction of Geneva. This avoids the busy Lyon motorways. Turn off to Annecy at the Bellegarde junction. There is about 40km of route national to Annecy.
