What is the best time to visit Annecy?

The perfect time to visit Annecy varies depending on what you’re looking for, but if you want pleasant weather and a sparkling lake, June, July, and September are our favorites.

  • Spring: Mild and blooming. Nature awakens, ideal for cycling around the lake and attending the Animation Festival (June).
  • Summer: Warm and lively. Swimming, paddleboarding, and a highly renowned event, the Lake Festival (August). Be aware: high crowds.
  • Autumn: Flaming colors. Indian summer is magnificent. Don’t miss the Alpine cattle drive in October.
  • Winter: Magical and cold. Christmas markets in December and Venetian Carnival in February/March.

How long does it take to visit Annecy?

The ideal duration for visiting Annecy depends on the experience you’re looking for. Generally, a 3 to 5-day stay is the perfect compromise to discover the city and enjoy the lake without rushing.

LLA Selections’ tip: If you come in summer, plan an extra day of pure relaxation. The gentle Annecy lifestyle is best savored when you have nothing else planned but a swim in Europe’s purest waters.
