What it is
The simplest way to see the lake from the water: an hour's commentated cruise on the Grand Lac, the northern half, with no stops. The company also has a one-and-a-quarter-hour trip (Cœur de Lac) and another of an hour and a half that reaches the Petit Lac, in the south, and two-hour cruises with lunch or dinner on board.
Price and season
€19 for adults and about €14 for children aged 4 to 12; animals pay €5. It runs from 1 March to 30 November; in summer there are regular departures and the rest of the year it is worth checking the calendar on the website.
Where it leaves from and how to book
Normally from the quays in the centre of Annecy, next to the Pâquier. Note: from 23 September 2026, because of the low lake level, the trips leave from the Sevrier landing stage, on the west shore. Buy the ticket on the website, at the shop on place aux Bois or at the blue ticket booths on the quays. Boarding closes 15 minutes before.
Tips
- Choose the hour-and-a-half one if you have time It is the only one that reaches the Petit Lac, the narrowest and most mountainous part.
