Annecy Escape 2026
Lake Annecy Escape 2026 - An Alpine adventure for everyone
​
10th - 14th June 2026, Talloires, Lake Annecy
​
We are constantly looking at options which provide excellent value for money and allow us to give all bike riders a wonderful experience and provide an appropriate level of challenge. We very much believe that these are your trips not ours, so whilst we have route plans and a structure - it is super flexible
​
Being based on the shores of Lake Annecy allows us to host grimpeurs who love nothing better than to conquer the Cols, alongside those who prefer rolling routes with the odd lump. We hope that this fosters a fun and psychologically safe environment for everyone.
​
Routes include Montee du Semnoz (HC), Col de la Forclaz, Col des Aravis, Col de Arpettaz and Col de Croix Fry, whilst also offering plenty of riding on the beautiful 36km bike path around the Lake. The Col de Leschaux is a perfect introduction to Alpine climbs as it is steady, sinuous and scenic. Whilst off the bike you will have a chance to swim in the lake and explore Annecy and the other towns in this active paradise.
​
Guests can also sign up to Paragliding if they are feeling particularly adventurous!!
