Lakeside Path at Lake Annecy

Highlight • Cycleway

A beautiful tour with a circumference of around 40 kilometers around the lake. I definitely recommend setting off in the morning! In the afternoon there are a lot of cyclists on the road and you have to be extremely careful of all the pedestrians. The best time to go around the lake is between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m.

L'Abri Cyclette

Highlight • Cafe

Super nice spot for a little coffee or lunch break without having to stray from the greenway. Large terrace, good atmosphere, quite ideal place to meet other cyclists and regain strength!

May 24, 2024,5. Boucle d'enduro du Pointe de la Rochette depuis Lac Annecy

5th tour in six days 😅. We were a bit out of breath. Then we got caught in the rain at the end ⛈️.
It was still very nice 👍.

September 19, 2022,Col de la Forclaz nochmals ( nur wegen der leckeren Crêpes)

Today we drove over the Col de la Forclaz once more. This time from the other side, which is a little less steep. Unfortunately, the snack bar with the delicious crêpes was closed. Nevertheless, it was worth just watching the paragliders take off.

For the third time in my 14-day vacation, I easily climbed the steep pass in first gear. 😁
The view was worth it every time.
A short final tour to be back in the valley in time for lunch.
