Lac d'Annecy

Sports and leisure activities

Biking is one of the preferred ways to explore Lake Annecy. A greenway follows the western shore, allowing cyclists to enjoy panoramic views while venturing towards Ugine. For the more adventurous, it is possible to continue along the eastern shore and complete a full circuit around the lake.

Golf also finds its place in this exceptional setting, with two 18-hole courses: Lake Annecy Golf in Talloires and Giez Golf, both offering breathtaking views of the sparkling waters of the lake.

For those who prefer to take to the heights, the Col de la Forclaz, one of France's most renowned paragliding spots, offers baptisms and initiation stages. This experience allows for a bird’s-eye view of the lake, providing a unique perspective on its landscapes.

Hikers are not left out either, with numerous trails leading to spectacular viewpoints over the lake and its surrounding mountains.

Water sports and leisure
In summer, when water temperatures reach up to 26°C, Lake Annecy becomes a true paradise for swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Sailing, kayaking, windsurfing, diving: many possibilities exist to enjoy this pure water.

Finally, for a more tranquil discovery, lake cruises allow navigation from port to port while admiring the landscapes. Boat rental services, open to leisure use, also offer an ideal way to explore the hidden corners of the lake at one's own pace.

Lake Annecy, with its diversity of activities and beauty of its landscapes, is a choice destination for those who wish to combine relaxation, sports, and cultural discovery in an exceptional natural setting.
