Day Trip to Annecy from Geneva

We have a 9 hour Excursion from departing Geneva to returning to Geneva. We provide a private driver & vehicle for you to have as your own freedom and flexibility to how you would like to explore the beautiful Annecy

The Lac d'Annecy beckons visitors with its unspoiled alpine beauty and myriad of recreational opportunities. This shimmering expanse of crystal-clear waters is considered the cleanest lake in Europe, plus the scenery is sublime. Snow-dusted mountain peaks provide an inspiring backdrop for walking, cycling, paddle boarding, swimming, and boating.

Annecy's most photographed monument, the 12th-century Palais de l'Île stands on an island in the Canal du Thiou. Tourists will find the best views and photo-ops of the Palais de l'Île on the Pont sur le Thiou (bridge). From this vantage point, the palace appears fortress-like with its sturdy quadrangular construction resembling the bow of a ship.

Perched on a hill above the town, the Musée-Château d'Annecy affords stunning views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. The castle was built in phases from the mediaeval to the Renaissance period. During the 13th and 14th century, the Counts of Geneva resided here.

In an idyllic setting beneath a canopy of leafy trees, the fittingly named "Lovers' Bridge" spans the Canal du Vassé that flows from the Lac d'Annecy. This arched ironwork bridge seems to inspire romance with its majestic lakeside scenery. The Pont des Amours is a popular spot for photo-ops, especially for engagement and wedding portraits. A short walk away from the bridge is the Jardins de l'Europe park.

About a 20-minute drive from Annecy, this dreamy castle stands on a hilltop overlooking Lac d'Annecy. The Château de Menthon Saint-Bernard dates to the 12th century and has been home to the esteemed Menthon family for 23 generations (almost 1,000 years). The Château de Menthon Saint-Bernard is open to the public for visits year-round, for an admission fee. In July and August, the château is open every day from 12pm until 7pm. From September through mid-November and April through June, the château is open on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays from 2pm until 6pm.
