Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport is the main aerial gateway for travellers heading to Annecy, the Haute-Savoie jewel nicknamed the Venice of the Alps for its picturesque canals and flower-covered bridges. With over 130 destinations served, the airport offers international visitors convenient access to this exceptional lakeside city, 145 kilometres away via a comfortable motorway route through some of the finest scenery in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. Annecy captivates millions of visitors each year with its stunningly pure lake — reputed the purest in Europe — whose turquoise waters reflect the Bauges and Bornes peaks in a postcard-perfect setting. The medieval Old Town, wrapped around the Thiou canal, unfolds its colourful houses and the iconic Palais de l'Île, photographed by visitors from around the world. Annecy is also a prime gateway to the ski resorts of La Clusaz, Le Grand-Bornand and the Aravis massif.
