Events Calendar
To Saturday 09 August 2025
After the success of last year we are returning to Lake Annecy. As with previous years the focus is on outdoors related family fun with swimming, cycling, climbing, via ferrata and hiking options all easily accessible in the area around Lanke Annecy, as well as the potential for parents to escape from the family for a day to themselves. The campsite (La Chapelle Saint Claude) has camping or chalet options however it booked up very quickly last year so I would advise booking as soon as possible.
