Classic route around the lake.
Very busy track in the summer season, particularly on the shore on the Sévrier side.

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!

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 as you can, and remain alter as pedestrian, chill bikers and fast road cyclist share the same trail

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!
