Discover

Lake Annecy, an exceptional place

Lake Annecy was mainly created by the progressive melting of alpine glaciers. It slowly took shape in the valley between 17000 and 15000 BCE.
The first village appeared in the 1st century. It would eventually become the town known today as Annecy. Perched at 446 m of elevation, the lake covers 28 km2 (14.5 km long x 3.5 km wide), making it the second-largest lake in France.
The lake is fed by several small rivers that have their sources in the surrounding mountains. It is also known for its cleanliness, and is considered the cleanest urbanized lake in Europe.
Surrounded by the Bornes Massif to the east, the town of Annecy to the north, and the Bauges Massif to the south, its remarkable setting generates a feeling of peace and fulfillment in a natural, mountainous environment.
