The Lake Annecy greenway

The Lake Annecy Greenway

The Lake Annecy Greenway is a development accessible to the greatest number of people. Not to be confused with cycling around the lake, it is one of the oldest greenways in France. On the western shore, it allows you to discover an exceptional environment between the lake and the mountains. It runs alongside the lake and its beaches, through small villages and allows you to move around easily on a route without any difficulty.

Between Annecy and Val de Chaise (Marlens), the greenway offers cyclists, rollerbladers and people with reduced mobility a dedicated route of almost 33 km. It is also accessible to pedestrians, runners and dogs on a leash on the shoulders.

For those who wish to continue the discovery, the greenway is extended to Albertville by a cycle route managed by the Savoie Department.

Cycling route : Around Lake Annecy

In addition to the greenway, the Haute-Savoie department and the SILA have completed the last sections of the cycle route on the east bank. This completes the cycle route around the lake. Please note: some sections in the villages are shared with vehicles.

This bank is a little steeper, with a difference in height of around 100 metres in the Talloires-Montmin village. The most athletic cyclists will not feel the slight bump, while the less fit may find it hard to get their footing.
