Alps sweet Alps : Vercors and Annecy lake



Highlights
Unmissable sites in the French Alps, the Plateau du Vercors and the Annecy Lake are true emblems of Alpine lifestyle. Along two flat cycle paths in a very different universe, discover the Alpine landscapes and cheeses without any physical difficulty. The first two days you will ride on the ViaVercors greenway, unique in its kind. In mountain territory, at an altitude of 1,000 meters, it crosses a plateau surrounded by peaks, full of wildlife, waterways, farms and traditional villages. Then, you will be transferred to the capital city of the Haute-Savoie, Annecy, called the Venice of the Alps for its canals and its lake with the purest water in Europe. You will discover its rich heritage, castles, traditional houses, gardens and you can taste the emblematic reblochon with a glass of Savoy wine. Authenticity, heritage, gastronomy and landscapes are at the heart of this trip. All without any difficulty and in the heart of beautiful landscapes.
