Lake Annecy is a large body of land locked water. The lake is actively used for swimming, water sports, and fishing. The surrounding landscape is awe inspiring with mountains rising up from the shore to the north and woodland covers most of the rugged views.

The lake has numerous small villages and towns along its shore. We walked out along the shore line until we left Annecy’s limits. The walk was easy but became less scenic the further we went. A large road joined the walking track and eventually the track became the footpath of the road.
