Quick ride by bicycle from Annecy to Viuz-la-Chiésaz

This scenic ride starts in Annecy, a lakeside gem known for its charming old town, bright canals, and stunning Alpine backdrop. You'll cruise south out of the city, mostly on quiet roads with gentle ascents—a great chance to warm up your legs as you roll through the foothills. The route covers around 19 kilometers and features about 300 meters of climbing, so expect a decent, but not punishing, workout.

Leaving Annecy, you'll enjoy views over Lake Annecy before heading into peaceful countryside dotted with farms and woodland patches. Most of the way is on asphalt with very little traffic, making it a relaxed and pretty safe ride. As you approach Viuz-la-Chiésaz, keep an eye out for sweeping mountain views and a slower rural pace. Viuz-la-Chiésaz is a small, quiet village loved for its trails and access to the Parc naturel régional du Massif des Bauges. It’s a wonderful destination for a post-ride picnic or just soaking up Savoyard mountain vibes!
