Lake Annecy

Reviewed By Curious54739211 - Vancouver, Canada

With one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, this is worth a relaxing stop for 2-3 days to amble along the lakeshore, take a boat excursion on the glacial-fed turquoise lake, hike or cycle, try some delicious raclette and make sure to wander beside the canals of the old town at night with glowing lanterns. Wonderful.

Lac Blanc

Reviewed By rudiefine - Den Bosch, The Netherlands

You have to hike up there we took one lift and hiked the rest of it. We have a good condition so we didn’t need as much time as the signs said. The view was great. We spent an hour around the lake, all to enjoy the view. Afterwards we hiked a bit down to a smaller lake which you can see from Lake Blanc. Took the same route back to the lift because we couldn’t hike from Lac Blanc to L’Index because of snow and were not trained hikers. When we were back at the lifts we had lunch (fine prices) and hiked up to L’Index. That was a tough one to hike up. But so worth the view! If you’re condition is not that great, I’d suggest to take the lift to L’Index and only hike down.

Combloux Ecological Moutain Lake

Reviewed By specas - Lithuania, null

You pay only 5 EU pp per day and you can leave and return. That's what we did. The water is clear, changing and pretty warm (around 23 at the time of our stay). While swimming you see the majestic Mont Blanc-the view is surreal.
