Discovering the Serenity of Lac d’Annecy

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're starting from the Annecy train station (Gare d'Annecy), exit the station and head northeast on Avenue de la Gare. Continue straight for about 500 meters until you reach the roundabout. At the roundabout, take the second exit onto Rue de la République. Follow this road for another 500 meters, and you will see the beautiful Canal du Vassé on your left. Continue along the canal until you reach the Pont des Amours (Lovers' Bridge). Cross the bridge and keep walking straight; you will soon see signs directing you to Lac d’Annecy. The lake is just a short stroll from here, approximately 1 kilometer away.

• Bicycle

  For those who prefer cycling, rent a bike from one of the many rental shops in Annecy, especially near the train station or the Old Town. Once you have your bike, head towards the promenade along the lake. From the train station, take Avenue de la Gare and then head towards Rue des Marquisats, which leads directly to the lake. Follow the bike path along the lake’s edge for stunning views. The ride will take around 10-15 minutes depending on your pace.

• Public Transport

  If you prefer taking public transport, you can catch a bus from the Annecy train station. Look for the bus stop labeled 'Gare routière' (Bus Station). Take Line 1 or Line 2 heading towards the lake. The bus will take you to the stop 'Lac d'Annecy', which is just a short walk from the lake itself. The journey takes about 15 minutes. Be sure to check the bus schedule for the latest times.
