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 …

Cycle tunnel

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!
