the experience

Discover Annecy from its streets to its shores

With its colourful façades, winding canals and mountain backdrop, Annecy invites you to slow down and enjoy its distinctive Alpine setting. Explore the old town with your private guide, discovering the stories behind its historic streets and the waterside landmarks that have earned it the name “Venice of the Alps”.

Aboard your private boat, the lake offers a different perspective on the town and its surroundings. Settle into the scenery over a traditional Savoyard fondue, sharing a leisurely lunch with the mountains in view. Free time in Annecy leaves room for your own discoveries, whether browsing the old town’s boutiques or lingering by the water.
