Description
Some experiences stay with you long after the final kilometre. The Annecy Lake Cycling Tour is undeniably one of them — an invitation to pedal between shimmering waters and Alpine peaks, to wander through Savoyard villages, breathe in the crisp mountain air and (re)discover Annecy at its very finest, with nothing but two wheels and open roads ahead.
Enjoy the fully equipped cycling path running the entire length of Lake Annecy for a group bike ride with your whole team. At just over 40 km in length, allow between 2.5 and 3 hours to complete the full loop, taking in the charming lakeside villages, the viewpoint at the Roc de Chère and the breathtaking Alpine panoramas along the way.
A simple, authentic and deeply refreshing experience — the perfect antidote to a full day of meetings !

FAQ
Do participants need to be sporty to complete the lake circuit ?
Not at all ! The fully equipped cycling path around Lake Annecy is flat, safe and accessible to everyone. For less sporty participants or those who prefer a relaxed ride, electric bikes are the perfect solution — they make the full 40 km effortless and allow everyone to enjoy the scenery at their own pace.
How long does the full lake circuit take ?
Allow between 2.5 and 3 hours to complete the full loop. This is of course flexible depending on the group's pace, photo stops, village breaks and any detours. Takamaka can adapt the distance and route to suit your available time and preferences.
Are the bikes delivered or collected ?
Bikes can be collected from the Takamaka boutique in the Vieille Ville or delivered directly to your hotel or an agreed location. This convenient delivery service simplifies logistics and allows you to start the ride directly from your seminar venue.
Are helmets provided ?
Yes ! Helmets and bike locks are provided with every bike for a safe and worry-free ride. No additional equipment is needed — Takamaka takes care of everything.
Can we do just part of the circuit ?
Absolutely ! The full 40 km loop is not compulsory. Takamaka can design a bespoke itinerary — a half-circuit, a themed route or extended stops in specific villages — tailored to your available time and group energy levels.
Is a guide available to accompany the group ?
Yes, a Takamaka guide can accompany the group, sharing expert advice and fascinating anecdotes about the lake and its villages. A highly popular option that transforms a simple ride into a genuine cultural and historical discovery of the Annecy region — well worth it !
Can the cycling tour be combined with other activities ?
Yes ! The cycling tour pairs perfectly with a lakeside lunch or tasting stop in one of the villages, a water activity (kayaking, paddleboarding) at the end of the route, or the Takan' Express for groups looking to add challenges and fun stops along the way. Takamaka designs your programme on request.
How do we book our Annecy Cycling Tour ?
Simply contact the Takamaka team by phone or via the online contact form. They handle everything — standard or electric bikes, delivery, helmets, locks and the guide option — for a fully turnkey, convivial and completely stress-free cycling experience.
