With its clear waters, beautiful shoreline and medium-altitude mountain setting which is perfect for family walks, Lake Annecy is one of the biggest attractions in the Northern Alps. The combination of the pleasures of water and walking is becoming increasingly popular with thousands of summer visitors. The paths which are described allow you to discover the many aspects of the lake's environment: castles and abbeys, fauna and flora of its shores and mountains, forests, waterfalls and alpine pastures. The Savoyard pastoral traditions that are still alive in many of the inns and farms contribute to this soothing atmosphere. In this book, Gilles and Catherine Lansard offer a selection of 25 day hikes around Lake Annecy to discover all its aspects and attractions.
