Outdoor Activities, Seminars & Bikes Rental
Since 1994...
Based in the heart of Annecy's old town since 1994, we take thousands of individuals, families and companies out to experience one of France's most spectacular regions every year 🏔️.
A turquoise alpine lake, wild gorges, mountain rivers, snow-capped peaks — the Annecy area is an extraordinary natural playground, and we know every corner of it. Outdoor adventures for all, tailor-made corporate events, bike rental and equipment hire: Takamaka Annecy does it all, driven by a team of passionate professionals and state-certified guides.
Takamaka Annecy brings 30 years of experience to your outdoor adventures, corporate events, and cycling getaways in the heart of the Alps.
🧗 Outdoor activities: thrills guaranteed, summer and winter
Tandem paragliding above Lake Annecy, canyoning through the Angon waterfall, white-water rafting on the Dranse or Isère, hydrospeed, hot air ballooning at sunrise, e-mountain biking through the Aravis massif, wakeboarding on the lake, via ferrata on the cliffs… In summer, the activities just keep coming in a setting that takes your breath away. And when the snow arrives, we switch to dog sledding at La Giettaz, high-altitude snowmobiling, ski joëring, snowshoe hikes with local food tastings, and ski paragliding from La Clusaz ❄️.
Every activity is led by state-certified guides, making the experience as safe as it is unforgettable — whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned adventurer.
