Recreational Activities at Lac d'Top attractions in 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, sunbathing, swimming, and boating.
The main beach of Annecy Lake is the Plage d'Albigny (Avenue du Petit Port), which has a spacious grassy area for sunbathing and a path for walking or cycling. Albigny Beach is immaculately manicured, with flowers and plants bordering the lawn. This beach has public restrooms and showers, as well as a picnic area. Lakeside staircases allow easy access for swimming. In July and August, lifeguards are on duty from 11am until 7pm.
Next to the Plage d'Albigny within the Parc Charles-Bosson, the Plage de l'Impérial (Avenue d'Albigny) attracts many visitors for relaxation and outdoor activities. The shoreline is a mixture of grass and fine sand. Well equipped with facilities, the Plage de l'Impérial includes a restaurant, picnic area, badminton courts, ping-pong tables, and beach volleyball courts.
Families with kids appreciate the Impérial Beach for its wading pool, playground, mini-golf course, and children's games. During the high season, lifeguards are on duty.
