Tourism, which is quite important to Savoie, began to develop towards the end of the 19th century, mostly summer oriented.
The increase in the popularity of skiing in the 20th century made Savoie home to the largest number of ski hills in France, including many famous ones:
Val-d'Isère
Tignes
Les Arcs
La Plagne
Courchevel
Méribel
Valmorel
Les Menuires
Val Thorens
Les Saisies
Savoie Grand Revard
Bramans
Bessans
Valloire
Hydrotherapy, practised in the region since antiquity, is also quite developed.
There are four locations that are still active:
Aix-les-Bains
Challes-les-Eaux
Brides-les-Bains
La Léchère
