From nature to culture, Annecy boasts a fantastic choice of attractions and activities. Of course, Lake Annecy is THE top spot… for both locals and visitors. It hosts a vast range of water-based activities and the lake’s shores (42 kilometres long!) have been landscaped with beaches, leisure parks, cycle paths and walking trails. As well as Annecy and the lake, there are multiple other attractions in the region. For a start, each part of Lake Annecy offers its own unique perspective and scenery.  

The old town with its irresistible charm is definitely worth a visit. As you stroll by the canals, which have earned the town the nickname “Venice of the Alps”, you can admire the Palais de l’Île, the Pont des Amours bridge and the various places of worship. Explore the local architectural heritage, shaped by a tumultuous history that saw the town frequently change hands. The town is also teeming with restaurants where you can sample the Savoyard specialities. And don’t miss the Château d’Annecy, an emblematic site for the town and its history. 

Finally, from Annecy, you can set out to tour the rest of the Savoie. From Chambéry and Lake Bourget to the Aravis Massif and even Mont Blanc and its massif. And then there are the Swiss Alps and, of course, Geneva, about an hour’s drive away.
