Annecy is located at the northern end of Lake Annecy, surrounded by the Alps and recognizable by the canals of the Thiou river flowing through the historic core. The Old Town consists of narrow streets, colorful facades, arcades and bridges, while just a few minutes away the wide lakeshore opens up with parks and promenades. The city is an excellent base for exploring the lake and the surrounding mountains, from cycling and boat trips to viewpoints, hiking and paragliding. The combination of a historic center, clean lake water and alpine scenery makes Annecy attractive for much of the year.
