The taxi from Cluses to Annecy crosses the heart of Haute-Savoie, connecting the industrial Arve valley — world capital of precision bar turning — to the lakeside gem of Annecy, tourism pearl of the French Alps. Cluses is the natural starting point for travellers descending from the Grand Massif ski resorts: Flaine, Les Carroz, Morillon, Samoëns and the spectacular Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval glacial cirque. The route passes La Roche-sur-Foron with its 11th-century medieval keep. Annecy awaits with its exceptionally pure lake, medieval old town laced with canals, the iconic Palais de l'Île and the annual International Animation Film Festival each June.

The motorway crosses the Bornes plateau with views of the Aravis range and Parmelan.

Specific tips for the Cluses → Annecy route
This route is especially popular at weekends when Arve valley residents head to Annecy for a lakeside escape. On Saturday mornings, Annecy's market (place Sainte-Claire) is one of Savoie's finest — arrive before 10am for the best stalls. In summer, ask to be dropped lakeside for the free public beaches (Albigny, Marquisats). The Lake Annecy cycle path (42 km, fully separated) is one of France's finest; rent an e-bike (€15/day) for the full loop.
