For example, you can explore the historic centre of Old Annecy without missing any of its rich heritage and architectural treasures, or take in the views high above Lake Annecy on the Mont Gerbet loop walk in Duingt.

To learn more about the lake’s flora and fauna, the family trails in the Marais de l’Enfer or the Bout-du-Lac Nature Reserve are sure to delight you.

And if you’re looking for a more challenging experience with breathtaking views, we recommend the hiking trails on Mont Veyrier, the Dents de Lanfon or the Tête du Parmelan.
