Haute Savoie: the place where a unique cultural heritage blends in an extremely beautiful natural environment.
Here and there, a Baroque church, an astonishing landscape, or, don't be surprised!, a Medieval village... The entire department is sprinkled with natural and cultural sites which tell the story of our region.
Always generous, often surprising, Haute-Savoie's landscape will amaze you for its variety and richness: big lakes, waterfalls, caverns, cirques, gorges, verdant mountain pasture lands, peaks, glaciers or nature reserves...
From Mont-Blanc's permanent snowfields to the Riviera-like Lake Geneva and Lake Annecy, the natural environment will give you a change of scenery, with a great number of sites you can choose!
A sky you can almost touch, natural snow-covered slopes, lakes to go sailing, beaches as if you were at the seaside, the Tour de France mountains, the best golf links, rivers for adventure, trails to climb or to track by horse and by bike, spa springs to make you feel fit... It's up to you to just pick out the Haute-Savoie that suits your fancy.
Lake Annecy, Albanais, Upper Rhone
Between the Rhone River and lake Annecy's shores, you'll find green valleys studded with villages, farms, hedgerows and arable land. Not to mention the town of Annecy, its old city, its Castle, its lake in a mountain setting, between Bornes and Bauges.

Grand Massif, Faucigny, the Arve valley
From the Swiss border to the top of the Grand Massif, discover the country of La Roche sur Foron, the wide Arve Valley, the world capital of screw-cutting, the Giffre Valley, its typical villages and hamlets and the Major National Site of Sixt Fer-à-Cheval.
Mont-Blanc Country
Four valleys, fourteen villages, forests, alpine pastureland, lakes, glaciers, granite needles and mythical peaks. A Baroque heritage and remarkable contemporary art! Culture is at the cross-road between Savoy History and that of the Swiss Valais and the Italian Val d'Aoste.
Lake Geneva, the Upper Chablais, Les Portes du Soleil
From Lake Geneva, the Europe's largest lake, to the Franco-Swiss peaks of Les Portes du Soleil: you will find in between the thermal cities of Evian and Thonon les Bains, the villages and meadows of Gavot country, the well-named Vallée Verte (Green Valley), the Abbeys, and the traditional farms and chalets of the Aulps's and the Abondance's Valley.
