With one of the cleanest lakes in Europe, this is worth a relaxing stop for 2-3 days to amble along the lakeshore, take a boat excursion on the glacial-fed turquoise lake, hike or cycle, try some delicious raclette and make sure to wander beside the canals of the old town at night with glowing lanterns. Wonderful.

We parked the car at the beginning of the trail. It is possible to drive to the restaurant le Chalet de l’Aulp where the trail begins. You have to be in good condition if you take the steep route. When you reach the shepherds shelter, the route will split left and to the right. We went left. It was a steep climb at 2/3 of this route but manageable if you are in shape and are a experienced hiker. Bring water, food and wear hiking boots or shoes with a good grip cause you’ll need it. It took 2,5/3 hours to get to the top en less than 2 to get down. We celebrated with a gigantic lunch at the restaurant Le Chalet de l’Aulp. 2x 3-course lunch with 2 cokes and 2 beers. Paid around €50. Highly recommend it!

This is a lovely goat farm located between Saint-Gervais and Les Contamines in the French Alps. There are around 90 animals. All the production of milk is transformed into cheese on site. You can visit the farm, pat the babies. Some will even see the farmer milking the goats. You can also purchase some products in the shop, fresh cheese, flavoured cheese, yogurts, soaps and much more.

We took bus number S2 which is right outside Annecy Gare/Station. One hour journey by bus and it was full of snow.We enjoyed above and there were lots of other families enjoying their Skiing. Remember to cover up well with snow boots and hand gloves. Clean toilets available.

Nice circular walk around the nature reserve, very peaceful and scenic. Apparently there are beavers but we didn’t see them, did see lots of lizards though. Stone viewing tower at lakeside gives a nice view of lake.

I walked the boardwalk area near the marina one evening in July while in Thonon-les-Bains. The views of the lake and mountains are spectacular. There are many restaurants lining the waterfront. I also saw swans gliding along the lake near the walkway.
