A vestige of the old railway line connecting Annecy to Faverges, this tunnel is now dedicated to the passage of bicycles. A little atypical and really nice moment!

Today we cycled a bit along the west side of the lake. A fantastic bike path 🚴. Then we went for a swim in the lake and finished off with a trip to the paraglider landing site 🪂

Arrival loop at the campsite in St. Jorioz on Lake Annecy.

The cycle path around Lake Annecy runs right past the campsite.
On one hand, the path is very beautiful, with views of the high mountains and the turquoise lake, but there are even more cyclists here than on our cycle highway through the Neckar Valley at home.

There's a new vacation destination to explore. Today, we're starting off by cycling along the lake on the cycle highway. The cycle path runs around Lake Annecy and is very well maintained. Today, we had to find some shopping for the first time.
