Annecy

Annecy enjoys an ideal location situated between the lake and the mountains, close to neighbouring Switzerland and Italy.

The 2 star Nouvel Hotel is located right at the heart of Annecy, known popularly as the Venice of the Alps because of its lake’s blue-green waters and the number of canals running through the old town. In an ideal situation between the lake and the mountains, Annecy is situated in a border region, next door to Switzerland and Italy.

You’re sure to fall under the spell of Annecy’s charm, authenticity and incomparable quality of life. The town’s rich cultural, sporting and tourist attractions make for holidays brimming with activity.

The town’s geographical situation and topography provide the perfect environment for all kinds of activities and excursions. From boating trips on the famous Annecy lake, the purest in Europe, to wakeboarding or surfing sessions, diving, rowing and a number of sunny beaches. Each of the surrounding mountains is unique and offers a range of unforgettable hiking trails (la Tournette, le Col de la Forclaz, le Col de la Colombière, la Semnoz…). The neighbouring Aravis mountain range (La Clusaz, le Grand-Bornand, Manigod) is your doorway to the slopes for skiing, snowboarding and tobogganing. And for those who prefer to keep their feet on solid ground, Annecy and its surrounding areas are packed with castles, museums and nature reserves…
