Description de l'itinéraire

The Lake Annecy greenway (roadworks over 4 km) is a safe, mostly flat cycle path that runs along the western shore of Lake Annecy.
Laid out on a former railway line, it offers around 33 km of paved route, with no car traffic, and very little elevation gain (maximum altitude around 500 m).
Accessible to all levels, it’s ideal for a family outing—on a road bike, hybrid bike or e-bike—with superb views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

Poulette's advice

For those who wish to continue exploring, the greenway extends all the way to Albertville.
