Chamonix-Mont-Blanc and Annecy embody the very essence of Haute-Savoie, a French department blessed by nature with soaring peaks and crystal-clear lakes. Leaving the Chamonix valley — a mountaineering sanctuary beneath the Mer de Glace glacier and the legendary Aiguille du Midi cable car reaching 3,842 metres — to reach Annecy, justly nicknamed the Venice of the Alps, means swapping a world of high-altitude grandeur for a lakeside setting of remarkable beauty in just over an hour. Annecy enchants with its turquoise lake, reputed as Europe's purest, its medieval Old Town canals and the iconic Palais de l'Ile. The taxi ride links two of the French Alps' greatest treasures through the stunning Arve valley.
Route

From Chamonix, the route follows the RN205 down the Arve valley to Sallanches, with spectacular views of the Mont-Blanc massif behind you. You pass through Les Houches and Servoz, then join the A40 towards Annecy. The motorway runs through Cluses and Bonneville before branching south via the A41, skirting the Bornes massif. Annecy appears gradually between wooded hills, with the lake revealing itself as you approach the city. The driver drops you in the town centre, by the lake or at your accommodation.

Specific tips for the Chamonix → Annecy route
This route between two Haute-Savoie hotspots is especially busy on Saturday changeover days (Christmas, February, Easter, summer holidays). Book ahead and depart before 8am or after 2pm to avoid Arve valley congestion. In winter, the Chamonix–Sallanches section can be snowy — our vehicles always carry winter equipment. If time allows, ask the driver for the scenic Megève–Flumet alternative, about 20 minutes longer but absolutely stunning.
