The Forclaz pass The Forclaz pass is one of the most emblematic places around Annecy lake... And this, for several reasons. If it is famous, it is first of all because of its love story (or not!) with the cyclists. Indeed, this 10,2 km long pass with an average of 6,5% has been used several times during the Tour de France and is a real test for cycling lovers. The bay of Talloires Another place not to be missed near Lake Annecy: Talloires. About 20 minutes from Annecy, this city is famous for its famous bay, on the right bank of the lake. It's good to live in Talloires, nicknamed the pearl of the lake with its protected and sunny cove. In this cute little village, you will find beautiful addresses, gastronomic and starred restaurants, prestigious hotels such as the abbey of Talloires... Duingt and its castle  On the other side of the lake, we can easily see the village of Duingt, at the limit of what is called the small lake, in the south. Easily recognizable, Duingt stands out in particular with its castle, which comes to point the end of its nose on the lake of Annecy. The nature reserve of the Bout du Lac The Bout du Lac nature reserve is located, as its name indicates, at the end of Lake Annecy. This place is a bit different. In the reserve, of course, nature is more than ever predominant. And for good reason: here, only pedestrians can use the paths (accessible to people with reduced mobility).   No motor vehicles, bicycles, or even pets are allowed.
