Super fun descent!! Really long and the road is really swoopy and fun. Completely worth the climb up. Plus view of Annecy lake in a lay-by!

Col du Semnoz summit

Highlight • Summit

Alas sign absent during my visit. Very nice shaded climb from Annecy as you cross state forests. Only the last two kilometers are in full sun.

View of Lake Annecy

Highlight • Viewpoint

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 …
