Beschreibung
Escape to Annecy on a private full-day trip from Lyon or Geneva. Stroll the old town canals, cross the lake by boat to Menthon, and take in the Col de la Forclaz panorama with your private driver.
Discover Annecy, the "Venice of the Alps," on a private, guided day trip led by a live, English- and French-speaking local guide. This is a structured experience with a set itinerary you can personalize — not a transfer or driver service. Your guide picks you up at your hotel or address in Annecy and leads a guided walking tour of the old town, so you leave with real stories, not just a lift.
Suggested itinerary (approx. 8 hours door to door, fully included in the price):
- Pick-up in Annecy at your hotel or address (approx. 15 min).
- Guided walking tour of Annecy old town (approx. 1.5 hours, included). Your live local guide walks you through the medieval lanes, flower-lined canals, and the iconic Palais de l'Île, sharing history and pointing out the best viewpoints and photo spots.
- Lakeshore stroll and free time (approx. 1 hour) along one of the purest lakes in Europe.
- Lunch break (approx. 1.5 hours, at your own expense) at a lakeside restaurant your guide recommends — fresh lake fish, Savoyard cheese, or a terrace with a view.
- Drive to Menthon-Saint-Bernard (approx. 30 min) for a guided stop beneath its medieval château (approx. 45 min).
- Continue up to the Col de la Forclaz (approx. 45 min) for one of the finest panoramas in the French Alps, where paragliders drift over the turquoise water.
- Return to your Annecy pick-up point (approx. 30 min), arriving in the early evening.
Because this is a private tour, the itinerary is fully customizable: linger longer in the old town, add the Gorges du Fier, or stop at any viewpoint you like — just let your guide know and we adapt the day around you. Between April and September you can add the scenic Annecy–Menthon lake shuttle as an optional add-on.
You travel in a private, comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle with door-to-door pick-up and drop-off in Annecy. The full itinerary above — your live local guide, the guided old town walking tour, all driving, fuel, parking, and the guide's time for the whole day — is included in the price. Just bring comfortable shoes and your camera.
