Wonderful view of the lake, nestled at the foot of the Dent du Chat. From the other side of the Crêt de l'Aigle you can see Mont Blanc.

Doussard Beach is located at the very end of Lake Annecy. A beautiful place to swim or simply see the body of water stretching out its entire length, in the middle of the mountains.

Seriously one of the most beautiful mountain tops on a clear day and you can race all the way to the top. The restaurant at the top is also amassing where you can have a cold beer and enjoy the view to the lake.
