The bike way around Annecy’s lake is beautiful and safe for anyone but can be super busy, avoid peak hours if you can and want to enjoy it as much …

Cycle tunnel

Highlight • Monument

A vestige of the old railway line connecting Annecy to Faverges, this tunnel is now dedicated to the passage of bicycles. A little atypical and really nice moment!

June 6, 2023,🇨🇵 Rund um den Lac du Annecy"23/57"🌤️🚴

As mentioned in the title, this tour leads around the Lac du Annecy. At the beginning you drive on a set railway track in the direction of Albertville. In Doussard, leave the Trasse and turn left, staying on the Lac du Annecy cycle path. In Talloires there's a short ramp to climb and then it's more or less always down …

A nice day ride with a visit to the centre of Annecy. Easier clockwise because of the hill in Talloires.

October 23, 2023,Fahrradrundtour um den See von Annecy

Wonderful bike tour for every fitness level. The route around the beautiful lake leads almost entirely along cycle paths. There are plenty of opportunities to swim in the lake or have a picnic on the shore. Ideal in spring or autumn; overcrowded in summer!
