Entre villages de caractère, eaux cristallines et montagnes, découvrez un territoire exceptionnel.
The Venice of the Alps, and its lake with some of the purest waters in Europe.
Cobbled lanes, colourful houses and the Thiou canals: Annecy's medieval heart is best discovered on foot. The old prison of the Palais de l'Isle, set in the middle of the canal, is the town's most famous image.

One of the most beautiful ways to discover the lake is to get out on it.
Clear waters and well-kept beaches: Sévrier's main beach lies just opposite the chalet, only a few steps away.

Gliding across the water on a paddleboard or in a kayak in the early morning, when the lake becomes a mirror: a simple, accessible and unforgettable experience.

A greenway along the water, gentle paths between lake and hills.
The greenway that circles the lake runs right past the chalet. Flat, shaded and car-free, it links the villages and is perfect for families; bike hire shops welcome visitors in the lakeside villages.

Around the lake, the villages unfold like picture postcards.

Its castle perched on its rock above the water and its lanes at the lake's edge make it one of the most enchanting stops on the tour of the lake.

The table of Savoie: generous, simple and sincere.
Tartiflette, reblochon, diots and Savoie wines: the local table is savoured in the restaurants of the lakeside villages, at the markets and at local producers.
