Lake Annecy
Annecy, France

Lake Annecy

Type: natural landmark

One of the cleanest lakes in Europe, known for its turquoise water and spectacular alpine surroundings. Boat tours depart from the center of Annecy, and a walk or bike ride along the eastern shore toward the villages of Veyrier and Talloires reveals some of the most beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding peaks.

Tickets

Entry: Free

The lake is freely accessible and surrounded by walking paths and beaches. Swimming is possible at several public beaches during the summer.

⛰️ Heads up: Hilly approach — the uphill section may add about 25 percent to the walking time to the attraction.
