Annecy Mountain Biking

Your guide to the finest mountain biking terrain in the French Alps

Annecy sits at the edge of two worlds: a pristine glacial lake ringed by café terraces, and a wall of Alpine peaks that climb sharply above it. The trails connecting those two worlds are some of the best in the Alps: forested singletrack dropping to the water, high-altitude enduro runs with views that stop you mid-descent, and rolling cross-country loops through quiet valley hamlets. This is a guide to riding all of it.
