Lake Annecy,
a marvel of Savoie
Nestled in the heart of the Savoie mountains and free from pollution for over 60 years, Lake Annecy is a source of pride for its residents. Its turquoise waters sparkle under the Alpine sun. Cycling paths allow for a leisurely tour of the lake, providing breathtaking views at your own pace. The more adventurous can climb higher for privileged vistas. A nature stop delights hikers who love breathtaking panoramas: from the wild Chéran River to the dizzying Pont de l’Abîme, from the Angon waterfall to the Gorges du Fier... At the edge of Annecy’s old town, the lake reveals its majestic expanse, from the "Venetian" canals to the medieval castle of Menthoux-Saint-Bernard, which is said to have inspired the world of Mickey.
