Annecy
Discover the "Venice of the Alps" from the sky. A scenic transfer that lands you right beside the crystal-clear lake and mountains.
Annecy is often called the Venice of the Alps, its old town built along canals fed by one of the clearest lakes in Europe, with Mont Blanc visible on a clear day from the water's edge. The approach by helicopter shows all of it at once — the lake, the old town's arcaded streets, and the mountains behind — before landing at Annecy Haute-Savoie a few minutes from the centre. It's a natural stop between Geneva and the ski resorts further south, or a destination in its own right for a lakeside lunch.
