Coming back in winter

The Sources du lac d'Annecy destination is beautiful all year round. The weather, mild in autumn, means you can still enjoy walks and hikes tinged with magnificent orange colors. Winter, when it dons its white coat, opens the door to ski touring, snowshoeing and tobogganing. In spring, when the weather is fine, it's time to hit the hiking trails again. Throughout the year, you can meet craftsmen, artists and producers passionate about their craft and discover the local terroir.

Témoignages

"People often ask me "Why do you do so much cycling and skiing?" The first reason is simple, because I LOVE it! I love varying activities, and skiing in winter, road biking or mountain biking like this morning (in the snow ) gives me (almost) as much pleasure as running.
Then of course, there's an interest in training: I can accumulate more hours of training without too much joint strain and naturally working on certain qualities (endurance, strength endurance etc...)." Aurélien Dunand-Pallaz

"Town on a human scale, offering all amenities between Albertville and Annecy. Residents live and work in the area." (about Faverges-Seythenex)" Val64

"I love the landscape, the gentle way of life, the lake, the shops and services... everything!" Thierry, resident of Doussard
