Looking for a natural, cultural and refreshing getaway? How about Annecy? From Chambéry, it’s easy to reach the “Venice of the Alps”: just 30 minutes by car, and regular train services from Chambéry-Challes-les-Eaux station.
Here, between lake and mountains, the magic happens instantly. The crystal-clear water, the flower-filled canals, the cobbled streets… everything invites contemplation.
The Old Town Of Annecy Gilles Piel 10272 1920pxLake Annecy, reputed to be one of the purest in Europe, is a veritable natural treasure.

By paddle, bike, boat or on foot, take in the sublime panoramas of the surrounding peaks: Semnoz, Tournette, Dents de Lanfon…
Looking for a moment of relaxation? Sit on one of the beaches for a swim or a picnic with your feet in the water.

Le Musee Chateau D Annecy Gilles Piel 9896 1920pxIn Annecy, the gentle pace of life takes on the air of a permanent festival. The old town is full of arcades, gourmet markets and lively terraces. Stroll along the River Thiou, admire the Palais de l’Isle, visit the hilltop castle or take in the cultural events: international animated film festival, Descente des Alpages, Venetian carnival…
It’s a town you’ll want to come back to. For its charm, its local flavours, its soft light from morning to night.
Exploring Annecy means extending the Chambéry Montagnes experience. Two neighbouring areas, two characters, one desire: to thrill you. One envelops you in wild nature, history and culture. The other opens its arms to you with the elegance of its canals and the intensity of its lake.
So why choose? Stay in Chambéry, explore Annecy, and create your own Savoie elixir. A cocktail of pure sensations, between water, air and light.
