Corbel is a commune in the Savoie department in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region in south-eastern France. It borders the department of Isère.
The township of Corbel has three main water streams: Gringalet, Hyères and Guiers Vif. The Gringalet separates Corbel valley from north to south and Guiers Vif goes on its southern border, in the gorges du Guiers. The Gringalet rises in the township, close to les Cruz, and empties into the Guiers Vif. River of Hyères (or Hyère), meanwhile, has its source at the Col des Égaux and down to the township of Saint-Jean-de-Couz. At the level of Corbel valley, if the district is more forested and steepits at his southern border (with Guiers Vif), it is less at the center and at the north. At the Col des Égaux, there are more grasslands and flat surfaces. Two mountains of the Chartreuse Mountains are located on the territory of the township: Roche Veyrand (1356 m) and Thivelet (1231m). Northeast of the town is la Cluse that can reach the col de la Cluse by D45 road.
The town of Corbel (845 m), the center of the township, is located on the east side of Thivelet (or Thimelet), and is about 20 km from Chambéry, by the D45 and the D1006 roads. Between Roche Veyrand and Thivelet lies the hamlet of Les Fiolins (860m). Further north of the township are the hamlets of Les Mathés (900m) and of Les Cruz (1000 m). Morel and La Cochette subdivision are located below the mountain named La Cochette, and near the hamlets of Les Burneys and Les Perrucons. On the other side of the slope of "Le Thimelet" mountain range lies the village of Egaux, near the Col des Égaux.
