Lake Annecy is an ideal location if you are looking to improve your paddling techniques or want to push yourself and try a longer distance paddle for the first time.
The calm waters and easy to reach shoreline mean you can take your time and enjoy the scenery. We suggest you remain close to the shore of the lake, this way you can soak up the glorious surroundings and wave at the friendly campers and cyclists as you go. And, if you do get a bit tired, simply attach yourself to one of the many buoys dotted around the lake, take a break or have a bite to eat.
If you have the time, it is worth paddling down to Chateau Ruphy, in Duingt. The castle is closed to the public so paddling here is a great way to view the historical grounds and capture the striking castle from your paddle board. It also offers a good spot for swimming if you fancy hoping in the water to cool off.
