Cruises on Lake Annecy
Lake Annecy is the main attraction of the Haute-Savoie prefecture, along with the old town. Kayaking, stand-up paddling, windsurfing, pedalos, sailing, paragliding, cycling on the cycle path along the western shore: there are many ways to discover the lake. Many walks and hikes around the lake and in the surrounding mountains await you! If you prefer to switch to relaxation mode between two active days at your campsite near Annecy, a guided cruise is just the experience for you. From the quays close to Annecy town center, or from one of the landing stages in the villages around the lake, depending on the package you choose, climb aboard one of the Compagnie des Bateaux boats for a one- or two-hour cruise. The boat will cross the lake, stopping at strategic points that offer beautiful views or are of particular interest. Rocked by the water, you’ll float along peacefully, listening to the guide’s commentary on the history of the lake. Whether you opt for a discovery cruise aboard the Belle Etoile, Savoie, Allobroge or Cygne, or a complete tour aboard the Navibus with minute stops, it’s up to you to choose the Compagnie des Bateaux boat and formula that will show you Lake Annecy in a different light. Meet at the pontoon or pier corresponding to the river transport chosen.
