About Annecy Mountains
à la française, culture du vélo, une destination essentielle.
De ses voies vertes qui flirtent avec les eaux turquoise du lac d’Annecy aux routes sinueuses de ses
cols mythiques, qui font l’histoire du Tour de France, Annecy Mountains propose une diversité de
parcours à même de satisfaire les cyclotouristes avides de découverte autant que les sportifs les plus
ambitieux, qui souhaitent rouler sur les traces des plus grands cyclistes.
Située sur la Route des Grandes Alpes, cette destination cyclo est idéalement située au cœur de la
région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, à proximité de Genève.
Chaque année elle développe de nouveaux services pour améliorer toujours plus son accueil vélo. Et
puis il y a « l’après-vélo » : flâner au bord du lac ou dans les stations villages, déambuler dans la
vieille ville d’Annecy, déguster une bière locale en terrasse…
