WHY LAKE ANNECY
The cleanest lake in Europe, with a medieval old town and the Alps for a backdrop.
Annecy is turquoise water, a canal-threaded old town and mountains on three sides, forty minutes from Geneva airport. We pick lakeside hotels with pools, spas and private beaches, and the cycle path that runs the whole shore.
