Magnificent view of the lake. Beware of pedestrians who can be very numerous on the edge of the lake (favor the cycle path for speed and safety).

Greenway along the shore of Lake Annecy

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

It is probably one of the most beautiful greenways in France! It offers incredible views of the lake with turquoise waters and the mountains. Along the slope, you will find several cafes, restaurants and beaches.

Please note, this is not a cycle path strictly speaking since its status as a greenway also allows rollerbladers, walkers, and even horse riders. So moderate your speed!

Lake Annecy

Highlight • Lake

Lake Annecy is surrounded by mountains. There is an extensive cycle path that follows all around the lake. It can get very crowded in the summer months and is probably best in late spring or early fall. The ride is approximately 36km and mostly flat.
