Top Rhône-Alpes On the Water

Mont Blanc is one of Europe’s most iconic mountains. Pair the thrills of white-water rafting with the beauty of its glaciers on this Chamonix adventure. There’s no need for previous experience or special equipment. Your guides provide all the gear you need: There’s one in every raft to ensure safety and guide your paddling as you negotiate the rapids and soak up the views on calm stretches.

Start your Lake Annecy cruise the easy way: a private driver collects you at your door - hotel, rental, or any address in the Annecy pickup area - and drops you right next to the pier for the 12:00 departure. No parking hunt, no rushing. Your exact pickup time is confirmed by WhatsApp the day before. Then glide onto one of Europe's purest lakes aboard a quiet hybrid boat. From large panoramic windows, watch the shore unfold: the villas of Veyrier-du-Lac, the chateaux of Menthon-Saint-Bernard and Duingt, the cliffs of the Roc de Chere and the bay of Talloires. One hour later you dock in the heart of Annecy, steps from the old town's canals and restaurants - the rest of the day is yours. Good to know: the vehicle is private to your group (2-7 travelers); the cruise is shared (50 seats, sheltered viewing) and non-stop, running rain or shine. One-way only: no return transfer after the cruise. Child seats on request, not guaranteed.
