Overview

Cycling in Annecy

Ringed by mountains and centred on its turquoise lake, Annecy pairs a flat, car-free lakeside path with serious climbing on the Col de la Forclaz, the Semnoz and the Montée du Plateau des Glières. It's an ideal base for riders who want family-friendly miles and Tour-grade cols from the same town.
