In the heart of the French Alps
Annecy enjoys an exceptional geographical position, nestling between Chamonix and Mont Blanc to the east, and the Tarentaise region, famous for its high-altitude resorts, to the west. This strategic location makes Annecy an ideal base from which to explore some of the most beautiful regions of the Alps.
The Aravis Mountain chain, which dominates the region, surrounds and dominates Lake Annecy, offering breathtaking panoramic views. The Aravis Mountains, with their rugged peaks and lush green mountain sides, add a spectacular dimension to the landscape. Not only are these mountains a paradise for outdoor sports lovers, such as hiking, climbing and skiing, but they also play a major role in the local climate and ecosystem.
