About Annecy, France

February in Annecy is magical ✨ — the medieval town, the snow-capped Alps, and the winter atmosphere make it very special.

Here are some of the best things to do:

In the City

  • Explore the Old Town (Vieille Ville) colorful houses, canals, cobblestone streets
  • Visit Palais de l’Isle: the famous “little castle” on the canal, now a museum
  • Annecy Castle (Château d’Annecy): medieval fortress with great views and exhibitions
  • Stroll along Lake Annecy: in winter it’s peaceful, with stunning reflections of snowy mountains.

Outdoor & Winter Activities

  • Skiing / Snowboarding: ski resorts like La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand are only ~40 minutes away
  • Snowshoeing & winter hikes: nearby trails in the Aravis or Semnoz mountain
  • Ice skating: Annecy has a covered ice rink, or you may find outdoor ones during winter festivals
  • Paragliding (yes, even in winter!): Annecy is famous for it — imagine flying over the snowy lake
