Mont Veyrier
A peak right next to the city on the east side. Hiking along the ridge to Mont Baron and Mont Veyrier gives views of the old town and the entire lake below.
Mont Veyrier stands at about 1,290 metres. Trails start from the east side of the city, either from Annecy-le-Vieux or from the village of Veyrier, and the climb to the Mont Baron and Mont Veyrier ridges takes about 2 to 3 hours with an ascent of around 800 metres. The open ridge gives wide views over the city and the lake, with Semnoz on the opposite side. Some sections are steep, so wear hiking boots and carry plenty of water. It is also a popular route for locals who want a quick evening workout.
