Annecy Ski Resorts are sensational summer destinations

The fabulous French alpine resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand Bornand, Manigod and Saint Jean de Sixt perched on the majestic Aravis Range, have joined to become Lake Annecy Ski Resorts. Most people know them only for ski holidays but they also make for a stunning break in spring, summer and autumn.

You really need wheels to be able to get around and see the area fully here, and driving on the mountainous roads with sensational views is just the icing on the cake. Tiny villages with gorgeous restaurants, fabulous street markets, cycling and walking routes and the most sports activities I’ve ever come across in one area make this an amazing summer playground. And there are so many surprises here.
