Not suitable for everyone who has already seen the bigger brother in Hamburg. Absolutely no comparison: Mini World lacks details, originality and quality: no weathering, even 300 yr old buildings look like newly constructed, some walls have even been cut out of printed paper. The cars are mostly 1:1 bought and often misplaced. There is hardly any motion: nearly no car moves, maybe 2 or 3 trains are in motion. Weird arrangements of things (see photos): lego buildings, bought toy robots etc. A lot is not working: trains stand still, half of the button functions is not working or so unspectacular that you don’t realize it. Light flashes where it shouldn‘t. At night all lights are either on or off, no realistic gradual light changes. Only plus was the newly added Jurassic Park model which was built with a bit more love. A lot is not working at

We absolutely loved this! Two adults and a kid, the kid was running around trying to find little Mr Men whilst we were entranced looking for the film, TV and popular culture references. I could have spent hours there, I was captivated by it all, genuinely a brilliant excursion and something we'll do again the next time we return to Lyon

Always amazing, both temporary and permanent exhibits. Annual pass with kids ages 4 and 6 and we go every few months and they love it more each time!

Absolutely amazing place. Suitable for kids from 7 to 90 Take the "backstage" tour. You will never see these type of thing with the same eyes.

I came here because it was included in the Lyon City Card and I enjoyed my time here (even though it seems like it’s more for kids). They have a lot of displays with miniature dolls and scenes. They even give you a booklet to try to find all the popular ones like Marilyn Monroe, Aliens, Mary Poppins, Harry Potter, Nemo, Jurassic Park, etc. I wouldn’t come here again alone (as an adult), but I would definitely come here with kids and easily spend 2h: trying to find all the characters. It also wasn't crowded when I came during the weekend.

One if the few things that a whole family can enjoy. It is made really nice with a lot of small details. I really recommend!

Myself and my kids loved this small, quirky museum. You could easily spend a long time here because there are so many details to explore. The creators of the mini worlds have a brilliant and bonkers sense of humour - some of the scenes are hilarious with random penguins, dinosaurs and monkeys scattered around, and people in compromising situations. An added bonus is the 3d cinema showing 2 short films. Free entry with the Leon City Card. Also very quiet - probably because it's a bit out of the city centre.

(Translated by Google) A real scam... Beware of fake reviews left by them on their website. I booked through another scam company that they are in cahoots with. All it takes is for someone to fart in Lyon and they manage to cancel your flights the day before, citing bad weather. And this repeatedly until the end of the validity of your ticket, then they offer you a low-end activity as a replacement. Of course you are obliged to accept before the end of the validity of your coupon to avoid losing more than €200. It's very attractive but unfortunately find another place. For my part I will look towards Savoie. (Original) Une véritable arnaque... Méfiez vous des faux avis laissés par leur soin sur leur site internet. J'ai réservé par le biais d'une autre entreprise spécialisée dans l'escroquerie avec qui ils sont de mêche. Il suffit que quelqu'un pète sur Lyon et ils s'arrangent pour annuler vos vols la veille en prétextant des intempéries. Et ceci à répétition jusqu'à la fin de validité de votre ticket ensuite ils vous proposent une activité bas de gamme en remplacement. Bien sur vous êtes obligés d'accepter avant la fin de validité de votre coupon pour éviter de perdre plus de 200€. C'est très attirant mais malheureusement trouvez un autre endroit. Pour ma part je vais chercher du côté de la Savoie.

Lyon 1 - Arsenal 4. Great stadium to visit. Good food and drink choices. Some local restaurants to visit. Can be a bit of a pain to get to on public transport - took about an hour on buses.

Stadium tour in English. It was really cozy, friendly tour - less commerical than the UK stadium tours. Massive credit to our guide Thibaut, whose English was exceptional and his know of OL, the team, the stadium, the history was first class. Also the guy in the museum was so friendly and knowledgeable. A really great few hours.

Very good once you get past security to the area around the stadium, very modern, loads of food/beverage options

What an atmosphere!! Lyonnaise were quite loud and choreographed. Saw the match VS Manchester United in Europa League, couldn’t pick a better match to watch!!

Was at this stadium for the Olympics and it was also my first time watching football. I think the journey to get here was really enjoyable - the tram service was organised I think specifically for the Olympics. It was EUR5.00 to book a tram ticket that was set up specifically for the event. I really liked this stadium compared to Stade de France. It seemed more updated and had lots of art to look at. There was also more shade while we were waiting to be let into the stadium. I was quite surprised that the toilets didn't have a toilet seat. Wasn't expecting this is in such a nice stadium. I also really like that the tram dropped us right outside the stadium so a better experience overall in terms of getting to and from this venue. Be very mindful of sitting in the sun though. I'm pretty sure I got heat stroke because I made the mistake of not moving to the shade. I bought chips from here which I think cost about EUR6.00.

This is a fantastic venue that seamlessly blends the excitement of football games with the electric atmosphere of concerts. As the home of Olympique Lyonnais, the stadium offers an unforgettable experience for football fans, with passionate crowds creating an intense vibe during matches. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring that fans enjoy every moment. Beyond football, the stadium hosts a variety of concerts, attracting big-name artists and delivering spectacular shows. The acoustics are impressive, making it an ideal spot for live music. Whether you’re cheering for your team or dancing to your favorite band, the energy here is contagious. Overall, Groupama Stadium is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the vibrant culture of Lyon through sports and music. Good to consider transportation options when visiting because it’s located away from the city center but note that there is a train line that’s very close to the stadium.

As a football fan, I would like to visit this Stadium. It's one of the mosy historical teams in France and alsoin the Europe. Unfortunately, the "rules" of the Stadium, as every employee told me, was that is open only at the weekends. As i told them that i came from so far away and i would like just a couple of photos as souvenir, that was something that is not possible. What a pity!!! I hope next time they will fix the "rules" issue !!!!

This place is great. I love history. Thus, I liked the place and atmosphere.

Pérouges is a beautifully preserved medieval village that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Cobbled streets, stone houses, ivy-covered facades — every corner is photogenic and full of charm. It’s not big, but that’s part of its beauty: you can wander slowly, take in the atmosphere, and imagine what life was like centuries ago. There are lovely artisan shops, small cafés, and a few restaurants where you can enjoy local specialties — especially the famous galette de Pérouges, which is absolutely worth tasting warm with a bit of sugar caramelized on top. It’s peaceful, authentic, and only a short drive from Lyon — perfect for a half-day or slow afternoon escape. Go early or late in the day if you want to avoid crowds and enjoy the serenity of the place. Highly recommended for anyone who loves history, quiet beauty, and timeless villages.

A lovely stone middle age town, nice for taking a walk but became a bit commercial.

It was quite an interesting tour of this great medieval city before Christmas time. The restaurants and cafes were all decorated for Christmas, and we tried mulled wine in one of the places. At this time of year the city is not so crowded with visitors.

Very interesting place, with a 3-4 restaurants which are full around lunch time, but you can have pancakes with ham or Nutella on the street. It's a beautiful Medieval town, especially during the Autumn because of the colours of the falling leaves.

I could not get enough of this beautiful historic place. I was. Awe around each corner I walked. Simply beautiful. Bring you best pair of waking shoes and a lot of space on your phone to take pictures.

This place is very beautiful and has not a lot visitors. One day trip would be far enough to enjoy entirely of this village. I stayed one night (Wed) and there is no restaurant opening for dinner.

Really nice place to visit close to Lyon. Pérouges and these caves make for a cool 1 day visit. The labyrinth inside the caves were the most liked feature of the family. The chapelle at the entrance is really beautiful.

One of the breathtaking wonders of nature! An hour drive from Lyon, this place was precious find. Honestly it is journey through time and space. When you squeeze yourself through the natural maze between rocks, you are not yourself anymore. You can sense a different spirit traversing those thin passages. Just beautiful 😍

Interesting experience, must visit.

Not far from Lyon you can enjoy your whole day there with all natural beauty peace ✌️ clam, it really work to got reference 😇😇

This too beautiful good place for visit

Amazing Caves, well maintained and marked. Some of the places are too narrow, not sure if someone a bit fat can get through.

What an amazing experience we really enjoyed it. You get to explore the cave and travel down tight tunnels it's a load of fun and very interesting. We only found it as we stopped of for the night but will be telling everyone about it and it's very well priced. Well done to the town for this experience

(Translated by Google) A very warm welcome for this free museum. The course is well organized. I went there with children aged 7, 14 and 17 and everyone was very interested in the objects. There are interactive workshops for the little ones. We didn't notice the time passing and stayed there for 2 hours. I highly recommend. (Original) Un très bon accueil pour ce musée gratuit. Le parcours est bien organisé. Je m’y suis rendue avec des enfants de 7, 14 et 17 ans et tous ont été très intéressés par les objets. Il y a des ateliers interactifs pour les plus petits. Nous n’avons pas vu le temps passé et y sommes restés 2h. Je recommande vivement.

(Translated by Google) Very pleasantly surprised by this museum. Being used to visiting museums in very large cities, I expected a lower quality of collection and a much shorter visit time. When I arrived, I was very well received and was able to leave my belongings in the locker for free. I was then able to discover magnificent collection pieces in the various areas of the museum, all explained with the perfect amount of information, also reformulated on small hanging fans for the children. The place is charming and we sometimes find interesting reports and very nice little interactive activities, created by students from the region. One of them unfortunately displays an illustration created by AI which immediately looks less professional, but I will not take this into account in the note from the museum which was surely not behind this choice. The top floor introduces us to two artists native to the city who very rightly deserve their place in this museum. The shop is also worth mentioning, with a lovely selection of reasonably priced souvenirs, books and stationery. (Original) Très agréablement surprise par ce musée. Étant habituée aux visites de musées en très grandes villes, je m’attendais à une qualité de collection inférieure et un temps de visite bien plus court. En arrivant, je fus très bien accueillie et ai pu déposer gratuitement en casier mes affaires. J’ai pu ensuite découvrir de magnifiques pièces de collection dans les diverses zones du musée, toutes expliquées avec une quantité parfaite d’informations, aussi reformulées sur des petits éventails pendants pour les enfants. Le lieu est charmant et on retrouve parfois des reportages intéressants et de petites activités interactives très sympathiques, crées par les étudiants de la région. L’une d’entre elle affiche malheureusement une illustration créée par IA qui fait tout de suite moins professionnelle, mais je n’en tiendrai pas compte dans la note du musée qui n’a sûrement pas été derrière ce choix. Le dernier étage nous fait découvrir deux artistes natifs de la ville qui méritent très justement leur place dans ce musée. La boutique mérite également d’être mentionnée, avec un joli choix de souvenirs, de livres et de papeterie à prix raisonnable.

(Translated by Google) Small, friendly museum with a well-stocked collection for the theme covered, namely the textile industry from its origins to mechanization. The welcome is friendly. The temporary exhibition on the ball exposing the evolution of outfits from the revolution to the 20th century is modest but sufficient to understand fashion and changes in morals. Most importantly, a big effort to create interaction with children: colored pencils with tracing paper, stamps, and interactivity. To do! (Original) Petit musée sympathique et a la collection somme toute bien fournie pour la thématique abordée, à savoir l'industrie textile de ses origines a la mécanisation. L'accueil est sympathique. L'exposition temporaire sur le bal exposé l'évolution des tenues de la révolution au XXe siècle est modeste mais suffisante pour appréhender la mode et les évolutions des moeurs. Le plus, gros effort pour créer de l'interaction avec les enfants : crayons de couleurs avec calques, tampons, et interactivité. A faire !

(Translated by Google) This visit was a very nice surprise! Thank you also for the lovely welcome! (Original) Très belle surprise que cette visite ! Merci aussi pour le bel accueil !

Very well presented and arranged. Interesting, educational, and a great treat on a rainy day in Bois d'Amont.

Great guide and awesome explanation Highly recommended

We arrived during opening hours and found a closed door and a sign to wait an hour for the tour to finish. Very dissapointing: seemed like an interesting museum.

Immersive

Great museum. The guide explained everything very well

Super +++

(Translated by Google) The museum tour program was very well detailed and presented, with video presentations explaining the village's inhabitants' lives, as well as the school and the granaries. I appreciated the remarkable elocution. I saw the first part, and tomorrow I'll see the second part. I'll send you the rest. In any case, it's worth the detour, as it's a very beautiful museum. It's a very realistic depiction of life in the old days.

En tout cas, il vaut le détour, car c'est un très beaux musée. Très réaliste de la vie a l'ancien temps.

Er had a very good time in Walibi Rhone-Alpes. The rides are good. The new ride Mahuka ist awesome. The new water-play area is nicely designed with a lot of nice details. I loved the effort in the details of the new area and ride. The other rides in the park makes also a lot of fun. Only the Show LE POUVOIR DE GAÏA do not fit in the entertainment Level with the park. The actors and stuntman are good in their jobs, but the show and story was for kids. There’s a few nice effects and two major stunts, but that’s all. There’s also a few fight choreographies that I saw in other parks better, and to many chatting. And only one Charakter speaks live. I know that shows with these concept runs better, but the entertainment is suffers under these conditions. And the stage is awesome, there so many options to bring that show to a new level of entertainment with the crew and the stage. Please use the chance. All the Employees, at the entrance, the security, in the Shops and at the attractions are very friendly. The Park was not busy at the day but the employees are fast at the attractions so we had only a few minutes to wait. It is nice to see, that the employees working fast at rollercoasters leading to a high guest throughput. As I said, the show-crew is good, but the show must more entertain adults and must have more action.

We visited the park on a mid-week day in August. Overall, it was fun — a bit crowded, but still manageable. Several rides offer a single-rider line, which can significantly reduce wait times. It’s also a good idea to follow the advertised wait times for each ride and plan accordingly. We purchased a ticket that included lunch, which was a nice option and worth it. However, there were a few drawbacks: some rides only open around midday, which is unfortunate, especially on busy days. The weather was hot, but there wasn’t enough shade throughout the park, and there were too few water fountains available for refilling bottles.

Nice amusement park with a good variation of attractions. Several attractions for the small children (also a great water play park), and also nice roal coasters for the dare devils.

Amazing park, extremely high quality coasters. Very friendly staff! The rides are unique and all of them are special and much more intense than the ones at other and bigger theme parks. All of them are unique and you have the possibility to try 3 completely different ride experiences, one of them being an incredibly smooth Vekoma Boomerang.

As I visited almost 200 theme parks Walibi Rhone-Alpes is one of my all time favorite theme parks. I visited it for the fist time two years back with roller coaster club and I was amazed by everything right after I entered the park. I was curious if my impression will be the same when I travelled alone this time. And it was even better. Very friendly staff was giving me small talk on security check, at Mystic station and even Mahuka station. Just because I was wearing my Walibi Holland T-shirt. The park is not big, everything feels very close. The park does not focuse on quatity or size/scale but on quality which I am a huge fan of. Food is delicious. High dive show is very impressive. Theming around Mahuka and Mystic is phenomenal. This park know where to invest and how to run park well. Parking is included in your admission. Number one park in France. No discussion. Highly recommended. Thank you very much for having me. :)

Walibi Rhône-Alpes is a small but beautiful theme park that has flourished in the past few years. The addition of Mystic in 2019 put this park on the map, and the new for 2024 Mahuka gave it a well-rounded ride lineup. Although this park seems to cater more towards families, you can have a lot of fun here as a thrill seeker. Getting to the park with a car is fine, as long as you don't get stuck with some of the closed roads in the area. Getting here with public transport is seemingly impossible, but the parking is free. The park is clean and tidy and has three little themed areas that you can explore. The theming is not out of this world, but I did really like the uniqueness of the Mystic area. The rides are unexpectedly good. Mystic is smooth and fun, although the wait can get annoying when they run it on one train. Mahuka is amazing fun and also has a great capacity considering the trains only hold 9 people. The baggage system is unconventional, but it worked. I also really liked the offering of the Mahuka pass, which was limited to one per person per day so that everyone could have the chance to experience this ride at least once. The only problem I had with this park was the food. There is a beautiful almost restaurant just outside Mystic and we should have just eaten there. Instead, we got some chicken tenders with fries, and those weren't great. This is still an amazing park, and the low height requirements make it perfect for aspiring thrill seekers. I am excited to see what the future holds for Walibi Rhône-Alpes.

I recently visited this amusement park, and I have to say it was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever had. The roller coaster queues were absolutely ridiculous—over 1.5 hours for a ride that lasted only 3 minutes! It's hard to believe that in this day and age, a theme park can't manage its lines better. To make matters worse, we noticed that some of the seats were marked as "disabled," which seemed like a lazy excuse for lack of proper maintenance. It gave the impression that the park is more focused on profits than on providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Speaking of profits, the fast track tickets for over €7 per ride felt like an outright scam, exploiting the long wait times instead of addressing the underlying issues. It’s frustrating to see a park take advantage of its visitors like that. When we finally got hungry and decided to grab a bite, the situation only got worse. The lines for the fast food restaurants were just as long—about an hour wait for some of the worst cheeseburgers I've ever had. They were cold, seemed precooked, and honestly tasted like they had been sitting in a fridge for days. I've had better quality food at gas stations! To top it all off, the security personnel were rude and unhelpful when we had a simple question. It was clear that customer service was not a priority for them. Overall, I left the park feeling frustrated and cheated. With such long waits, poor food quality, and a lack of courteous staff, I cannot recommend this amusement park to anyone looking for a fun day out. Save your money and go somewhere that values its guests!

An interesting building/location and wonderful views across the area - if you’re brave enough to walk up the 850+ steps. You’re not allowed access to the top fort - I think this is only for people who’ve paid extra (a lot extra!) to do the ‘parcour’ tour, so that was a bit disappointing. There’s so much scope for having in depth exhibitions on the history of the the fort and its military occupants and having an actual museum (which is what I’d expected) but this was minimal - instead there was a small wildlife photography exhibition and an exhibition on global weather systems - which was unexpected and a bit odd! There were also loads of empty rooms and some covered in graffiti. The highlight is the view from the top, just below the upper fort and this is what you are essentially paying for. If you don’t want to/or can’t walk up the 850+ steps I would not bother paying for entry as there is not really much else to see or do inside the building - once you’ve looked in one dusty empty room you’ve seen them all - You can take in the grandeur and location of the building without actually going inside. Be aware the parking area is quite small and if you have an RV or it’s busy you may have to park on one of the lay-bys on the road outside

Surprising place seen on the way back to Geneva from Annecy. Placed in the middle of nowhere, built into the rocks, offering amazing views. Very clean with place for enjoying cup of coffee or live music.

Great place to watch live music or for various other cultural events throughout the year. The views are breathtaking and the history of the fort itself is very interesting. If you are feeling fit there are 1165 steps to climb to the top fort or for the more adventurous there is a moderately difficult via ferrata.

The expositions are not as interesting as in other chateaux, they are random (e.g.one was about lightning and storms) and not really related to the purpose/history of the fort. There were however a few info boards aling the way. The climb of 830 steps of stairs is challenging, there's no cheat, if you want to get to the top, the only way is to go up all those stairs. Many, many flights of stairs that will take you almost to the top. The fort has about 1000-smth stairs but beyond 830 they're closed to the public unless you buy some kind of tour which I didn't really understand what it was since the explanation was in French. People also do rock climbing there, maybe they get to the very top. The views are nice, the descend is harsh of you have knee issues. If you climb to the top, take a pic as proof and show it to the staff at the café/boutique, they'll sign you a little diploma☺️

TOURIST SCAM AGAIN. we paid €17 to climb 830 steps and everything was locked. Trust me it was not worth it with a young family. You can’t see anything after climbing a painful climb. It is a SCAM. I was expecting some nice views after climbing those steps and what I see looked doors everywhere. They also have non sense expo in several rooms. I am still trying to recover from the climb.

Very cool place! Admission is very reasonable, and there are excellent views if you just wish to view the outside and not pay the entrance fare. Hiking is available in the region as well. Relatively difficult to access without a car though. If biking, beware road is heavily trafficked and fast moving. To access the upper for from the lower one, there is about 1000 steps, so be prepared! The bar in the lower courtyard also has a good selection of drinks and snacks

Very interesting fort overlooking the Rhone with roots back to 1200’s but rebuilt and extended in 1800’s. A via ferrata to the upper fort for the fearless and 800+ steps in a steep tunnel built into the cliff leading to cannon emplacements for the rest. Interesting artwork and exhibitions in the lower fort structures are worth the low entrance fee if you don't fancy all the steps. The only negative was the sporadic service at the small cafe (which offered good coffee, wine, beer, and local cheese).

Definitely a natural highlight of the area worth checking out. Impressive waterfall. The flow can vary quite a lot according to the weather and season. There is a parking area just nearby. Be aware there is no structure (yet ?) to sit and relax and swimming is prohibited. There isn't much of a pool any way. However there is a nice hotel-restaurant terrace just across the river.

Be careful… unfortunately, someone broke into our car. The police told us this happens often in this area.

Nice waterfall , relaxing environment, walks and hikes possible. The town is a reminiscent of the past old houses and historic farm buildings

Worth the visit. We went at 9:30 on Monday morning and It was just us.

Very beautiful (and green) water falls. Directly located beside the road, so it is easy to visit, and no lang walk is needed. There are also several nice hike trails in this area, with good directions and a variated trail.

Very nice waterfall, but crowded. It feels a bit commercialized. However, great ice-cream at the shop with local food just down the road.

Wonderful waterfalls n view .just can't swing there see it's not dangerous place but can't take swimming

Glad we came.. the guy gave us tasting of oli, flour and jams! All freshly made.. in front of us.

lovely renovated watermill, very kind and knowledgeable operator. Supremely delicious fresh nut oil to sample. They also sell oil and flour.

Very good oil !!! Taste it.

Nice experience and tasty products!

Amazing

Beautiful situated and a very touching church, audio guide.

Although Hautecombe Abbey was founded in the 12th century by Cistercian monks, it's had a chequered history. Apparently it was even turned into a factory making china and other ceramic goods in the early 19th century. Indeed, most of what's visible today dates from the 19th century. There are a few good alabaster pieces but most of the ornamentation has just been copied from medieval stuff situated elsewhere. Frankly there's not much to see here apart from the chapel. However, the site, on the north-western side of the Lac du Bourget, is pleasant enough. There's a gift shop selling mostly Catholic kitsch but no refreshments. The toilet facilities are awful. One lot were completely shut even though we visited at a peak time (Sunday afternoon). The one that was open was so dingy it was necessary to use the torch light on a mobile phone.

Mausoleum abbey of the Savoy family, a place steeped in history on the shores of the lake. The heterogeneous reconstruction in terms of styles gives it a special feature, but maintains a beautiful spirituality. The visit goes with multilingual audioguide and takes 45min. The shop offers a lot of local products to buy. Large car parking with shadow.

Absolutely stunning. The people are friendly and the audio guides are amazing. You can spend a couple of hours here experiencing the calmness and history of this magical Abbaye.

Stunning architecture and amazing nature view around it. This abbaye has been sitting peacefully by the lake since 12th century. Interior design is spectacular. Ceilings and majority of the building are in style of Baroque, a few corners in style of Neoclassicism. There's a entry fee of €4.5. Audio guide device and introduction sheet (option of several languages, which I find it rare in France, very international tourist friendly) are available. Very worthwhile to pay a visit.

We took the boat trip from Grand Port. We would have liked to visit the church at the Abbey, but there were tour groups who were given priority in front of us, we were ignored by the ticket office and ran out of time.

Off the beaten path historic abbey with interesting church that contains alls tombs of the Savoy family. The situation on a cliff overlooking the lake is superb, so don’t miss to walk down to the lake pier to photograph the site above the lake as you will not realize it when visiting otherwise. Another nice point of view is from the road that passes a few hundreds meters above the abbey; stop at Belvedere d’Ontex on D914 for an instaworthy shot. Do mind the closing time over lunchtime.

I went on a tour! I thought it was okej, the tour in it self was not that special it was rather being there that was cool. (My gf really liked it tho she thought the tour guide was so good). Con- we where on time but the tour was not which meant we had to wait in the heat when we was there on time. Also i wish the tourguie would say when we can take photos cause sometimes it was lite unclear especially when i see other pepole have taken photos that i wish i could have. But overall it was really good and i am happy we went and I would recommend other to book to. The absolut best was the guy in the stamps both, i was really kind and made it realy memorable for us!

I visited the UN headquarters in Geneva and really enjoyed the group tour. Walking through the big halls, especially the Assembly Hall and Human Rights Council Chamber, was fascinating. It felt special to stand in the rooms where so many important discussions actually happen.

Unfortunately we couldn’t get in. They said only booked tickets could get in. But there is no availability for over a year. There might be something wrong with buying tickets online. Even though, from outside the building looks great. Should go for a walk around even without tickets.

How stupid can they be? Imagine you have a beautiful art deco building, but then you build such an ugly fence that it can hardly be seen anymore. Could that be a typical result of an overrated, overfunded overpaid underbrained stuffy organisation? We had booked a tour a few months before and the process of getting the security passes was terrible. We just got inside one of the ugly 1960s buildings (and the ceiling decorations were nice) and we could at least see the nice historic art deco building from the back. There are renovations going on, but It sure would have been possible to guide us through a few rooms of this immense building, but the bureaucracy wouldn’t care for visitors. High on security, low on everything else.

How does someone rate one of the most important places on the planet. Our guide was incredibly well versed with all goings-on at the UN and spoke more languages than all five of us combined. Be prepared with any questions as your guide will be more than capable of answering them. Book the private tour for an even better experience. Be sure to enter at the Pregny Gate.

Beautiful building! Even from the outside, the Palais des Nations is worth a stop, especially to see the famous Broken Chair nearby and the line of flags!

The UN was the top of my sons list when we booked our trip to Geneva, so we just had to get tickets to get inside! You have to book a tour to get inside the gates, we booked online roughly 3 weeks before, but it tells you to do it as soon as you can as it books up fast! You get a guided 1hour tour which is OK, but it's honestly worth booking just to get inside the gates, so many brilliant photo opportunities! The buildings and gardens are beautiful! My son was so happy getting his picture with the flags! Our tour guide was lovely, I can't remember his name! He really did try to squeeze as much in as possible in the short time! It's worth it as the tickets are quite cheap!

If you're looking for a unique museum experience that's different from the usual, this place is a must-visit! It's an officially recognized museum with an incredible collection of antique clocks and timepieces, some of which date back to ancient centuries. The amount of detail and history behind each piece is truly fascinating. What makes the visit even more enjoyable is the interactive tour provided via iPads, available in English, French, and German. The guided tour is super informative and really brings the museum to life. The feeling you get while walking through the exhibits is like being transported back in time. Each clock, each antique, tells a story. It's more than just a museum — it's a time-travel experience! Highly recommended for history lovers, clock enthusiasts, or anyone looking for something special and different to do.

When in Geneva, Switzerland, visiting the Patek Philippe museum is a must. Unfortunately, I visited with a bus tour and not everybody wanted to come in so I had to rush. I only had one hour but I saw the most amazing beautiful watches in my life. I bought tickets two weeks prior to this visit to cut down on wait time, and I also watched an interview on line with the director of the museum that was most interesting. I concentrated on the second floor that houses an incredible antiques collection, and then the first floor that displays the beautiful Patek Philippe collection. On the ground floor there is a wonderful display of watchmakers workbenches as well as a reception and security desk, and you can get a token for the lockers in the basement. You have to lock up any backpacks or any baggage in a locker. Or it will cost you 2 CHF but you get it back when you take your stuff out. There is also a restroom by the locker room.

An amazing experience! The visit offered a deep dive into the fascinating history of the Patek Philippe brand and how it all began. Even without a guided tour, the museum is wonderfully organized and easy to follow, allowing visitors to explore at their own pace. Each floor presents a different chapter in the evolution of watchmaking — from the earliest pocket watches and intricate mechanisms to the modern masterpieces that define Swiss precision and luxury. The collection truly highlights the innovation, craftsmanship, and artistic beauty that Patek Philippe brought to the world of watches. A must-visit for anyone coming to Geneva — even if you’re not a watch expert, you’ll leave inspired and impressed by the legacy of this remarkable brand.

A Must-Visit for Every Watch Lover! If you’re into watches, this place is an absolute must! Start from the 3rd floor and work your way down — the collection is unbelievable. You get to see everything from early timepieces to stunning modern masterpieces, all beautifully displayed. The museum is really well organized, and you can feel the history and craftsmanship in every piece. Even if you’re not a hardcore collector, it’s still super interesting and worth the visit. Definitely one of the highlights of Geneva for anyone who appreciates fine watches!

Fascinating museum filled with multiple floors of incredible time-piece history. I reserved the day before and spent a little over an hour wondering around in awe of the displays. They provide complimentary self-guided tours with a tablet and headphones to learn about the collections. Upon arrival large bags must be stored in the lower floor lockers.

You could easily spend a whole afternoon in this beautiful museum even if you are not a watch enthusiast. The exhibition starts on the 3rd floor with a library and some enamel miniature portraits, continues on the 2nd floor with the Antique Collection that displays watches from 1500 to 1850 and it ends on the 1st floor with the Patek Philippe Colletion, that comprises the most iconic watches of the Swiss watchmaker from its foundation in 1839. The ticket costs only 10 CHF and they give you also a tablet as audioguide.

What a nice discovery. I am not so keen on watches, but visiting Patek Philippe Museum was an amazing experience. I saw all sorts of watches from around the world and impressed by the arts crafts skills watch makers have had over the centuries. But what I liked the most was seeing the patents showcased in the Museum and the Patek's will for his children as these reminded me about why I do certain kinds of works.

Nice place to swim, jump into Lake Geneva, play on kids playground and get food (fondu and more) and drinks. Parking is difficult though - - try the hotel garage a few blocks away. Cheap (2 Euros per person), yet if you leave, you'll have to pay to re-enter on the same day.

An exceptional place in the heart of Geneva city on the lake. Beach and lake swimming pool in summer and a fabulous steam bath and sauna in winter time. I can also highly recommend their restaurant with greate dishes and local specialtys in the very casual surrounding of the bath.

Such a lovely place to have lunch at! The queue was quite long over lunch time but super worth it. Delicious food plus amazing lake view with swans and ducks swimming around you. I had this amazing salmon salad that tasted fresh and sat on the deck so I can be closer to the nature. It was such a memorable lunch at Geneva lake! Also, the staff told me which food contains pork in case I don’t eat it. Very kind! 😊

Cheap to enter the area and a very accessible entrance to Lake Geneva. There were toilets, changing rooms and lockers available and space to enjoy a picnic. There was a slide, climbing area and diving board available for additional entertainment. There was also an area to buy food and drinks. We had a fun time there.

For only 2 euros, you can access the beach front and the bathrooms. I went in the morning when barely anyone was there and stayed all day. There was a mix of locals and tourists there. I was there alone, but it’s very safe and I could leave my things on the beach while I went swimming without fear of things being taken. There is a restaurant there, too.

Ask deep seek for a safe place for tourists to swim in Lake Geneva, suggested this beautiful place, confirmed on Google map & which had a 4.6 rating with more than 9000+ reviews. Rush over after checking in hotel & enjoyed a nice swim with family, with 2CHF entrance fee per person, plenty of changing room and toilet, good summer vibes. Managed to try the famous cheese fondue for about 27CHF. Highly recommended place if you want enjoy a summer swim in lake Geneva 👍

Amazing morning spent at this magical place. Food and atmosphere were divine, just wish I had brought my bathing suit!

Impressive cathedral in the old town area with lots of period buildings around it. On a bit of a raised area but an easy walk up. Quiet, peaceful, can sit for as long as one likes. Free to enter, as it should be, but is not in some places. Different parts obviously built/added/repaired/rebuilt at different times, which is always interesting. Well worth a visit.

Undoubtedly, this is a majestic cathedral in the heart of Geneva, with stunning Gothic architecture and a historic stone façade. The church is very well preserved, and from its current state, you can almost imagine the grandeur it must have had 1,000 years ago. Inside, the serene atmosphere, detailed sculptures, and beautiful architectural features make it a remarkable place to explore. A must-visit for anyone interested in history or architecture.

Visiting St. Pierre Cathedral in Geneva was truly memorable. One of the highlights for me was climbing the 160 steps to the top of the tower. The stairwell is narrow and may be a little intimidating for some, but the effort is completely worth it. Once at the top, you’re rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Geneva and the surrounding area—perfect for photography enthusiasts. The cathedral also has a small shop where you can browse a selection of cards and postcards as a memento of your visit. Inside and out, the cathedral offers plenty of opportunities for taking beautiful photos, from its impressive architecture to the breathtaking vistas from the tower. Despite the slightly nerve-wracking climb, it’s an experience I’d highly recommend.

This cathedral is a highlight located in the center of Geneva's old town. The top offers a great view over the city and the lake. I recommend combining a visit with a walk to the beautiful nearby square "Place-Du-Bourg-de-Four" (my favourite place in old town). Take a break there for a snack and a drink. Enjoy!

I always try to visit at least one church during my travels, though sometimes it doesn’t work out. I’m so glad I made it to this cathedral—it was actually one of the reasons I wanted to visit Geneva in the first place. I’d heard about the 157-step spiral staircase, and let’s just say I realized how out of shape I was while climbing it! But I made it, and it was absolutely worth it. Such a beautiful piece of history to experience. The fee to go up is currently at 7chp.

The "Nothing to Photograph in ..." series has made its way to Cathédrale Saint-Pierre Genève, highlighting its serene interior and breathtaking views from the towers. I highly recommend exploring this historic gem. Follow me to discover your next destination.

Excellent 360° views of the city, lake & mountains. The stairs were in a very good condition compared to other church towers in Europe. The entrance price was included in our tourist city pass so it's a very much worthwhile visit.

Visiting L’Horloge Fleurie in Geneva was a wonderful experience! The flower clock is truly a masterpiece of art and nature combined. The design is beautiful, colorful, and always perfectly maintained. It’s located in a lovely park near the lake, making it a great spot for a relaxing walk or taking amazing photos. The flowers change with the seasons, so it always looks different and fresh every time you visit. It’s one of the most iconic landmarks in Geneva and a must-see for anyone visiting the city. A peaceful and charming place that perfectly represents Swiss precision and beauty.

The L’Horloge Fleurie (Geneva Flower Clock) is one of the city’s most charming landmarks, perfectly combining Swiss precision with natural beauty. Located in the English Garden (Jardin Anglais), the clock faces the main road, making it easily accessible as you stroll through the park or along the lakeside, close to the Jet d'Eau. What makes it special, is that the flowers change with every season. The city’s gardeners carefully redesign it throughout the year, ensuring it always reflects the colours and mood of the time — from bright spring tulips to autumn blooms with hundreds of seasonal flowers. Although it’s a popular attraction, it’s best to visit on a dull or overcast day when there are fewer tourists. That’s when you can truly appreciate the clock’s detail and take unobstructed photos without the usual crowds. The clock was created in 1955 as a tribute to Geneva’s long-standing tradition of watchmaking. Beneath the floral design lies a fully functional timepiece, powered by Swiss engineering and precision, symbolising the city’s harmony between nature and technology. It truly is a must-see — a living symbol of Geneva’s elegance, craftsmanship, and love of beauty.

This is one of the nice places you can visit and have your photo captured, having a beautiful memory that you've been to Geneva. I would recommend the sunset, where you can take a ride in the wheel to have glance at the beautiful view of seeing over the water and the city with pretty greenery. Feels like a illustration be Angelo himself. During the night the flower clock is well lit up and captures well, and a beautiful park being next to it, you can relax and enjoy the surrounding altogether as well. Very beautiful and calm place al together. (Don't forget to have glance at the memorial statues in vicinity as well)

I had a wonderful visit to L'Horloge Fleurie! 🌸 The flower clock was absolutely charming and so lovely to admire. 🤩 It's such a unique and delightful attraction, truly a beautiful sight. 🕰️ I thoroughly enjoyed my time here! 😊

L’Horloge Fleurie is one of Geneva’s most iconic landmarks. A must-see, especially considering Switzerland’s deep tradition of watchmaking – and in Geneva you’ll notice watches on every corner. The floral clock perfectly combines Swiss precision with natural beauty.

It is one of the most beautiful places in Geneva, with sunshine, the lake, possibly the tallest fountain in Central Europe, ferries, statues, and a Ferris wheel — it has everything, simply perfect.

I have seen many creative floral installations before, including floral sculptures and other well-known flower clocks. However, when I finally visited Geneva’s famous L’Horloge Fleurie (Flower Clock), I experienced a slight sense of disappointment - not because it lacks beauty, but rather because its reputation is so grand that it naturally raises expectations. To be fair, the clock’s design is intricate, and the vibrant flowers give it a sense of energy and elegance. Yet in reality, it is smaller in scale than I had imagined, which may feel a little underwhelming if one visits only for this landmark. We visited on a Saturday afternoon, there were only a few tourists around, which made the experience calm but also highlighted how modest the Flower Clock actually is. That said, if you see it as part of a leisurely walk along Lake Geneva, passing by after a meal or while enjoying the lakeside scenery, it can still be a pleasant and relaxing stop.

Great value for six people very reasonable Enjoy the restaurant, good n easy. Nice Swiss feel.

Dinner with team after congres day. 2 had filets de perche this fish filets were baked with a tartare sauce nothing to have a waw feeling. 1 penne ciocarna ( see picture) also no real wow effect missong of spices and 1 spaghetti fruits de mer seems was ok. white swiss wine could be better. Service 2 people avetage. Thats why give a 3

Really good pizza, I recommend the « jet d’eau pizza » Only bad fact is that the crust was too thin.

Staff were really friendly and accommodating despite a language barrier. I was even given a free salad! Food was some of the best me and my friends have ever had and is well priced. The restaurant atmosphere was incredible as well. We all agreed we would absolutely eat here again 👍

Had a wonderful lunch here! The waiters were very friendly, and the food was delicious and served quickly :) Very generous toppings on the pizza!

I am travelling for work. Great food and even better people. Seems like a family owned business. I had the pugliese pizza and was amazing. But hey!! Be careful with the spicy oil they offer 🥵very hot

The food was delicious and the waiters really helpful to translate to English for us. They even had a English menu. The place was warm and the pizza oven in the heart of the restaurant. It felt like an authentic Italian family business.

--- 🏞️ Alpine Lake Escape Lac du Bourget is a peaceful and scenic lake surrounded by mountains – perfect for swimming, relaxing, or just taking in the views. ✅ Clear, swimmable water with beach access 🛶 Great for paddleboarding, kayaking, and boating 🚐 Beautiful parking spot where you can easily be by yourself and take a quick nap 🛤️ No signs saying no parking – just enjoy it, but the train can be loud when it passes 🌅 Stunning sunsets over the mountains 🚻 Public toilets and picnic areas available 🍽️ Restaurants and cafés nearby for lakeside meals Follow me on Google Maps and insta for more lakes, hidden nature spots, and road trip tips across Europe 🌍 @Amagi.zi

The soothing voice of the lake, one hour swimming in it and a sunny day is all I wanted in Aix les Bains. Amazing views and great place to be. It’s just an hour from Lyon by TER trains. Strong recommend it.

Great place to stop on N7 near Machezal. Off road, tree shade & picnic table  good place for a lunch break or rest. Good view of the lake

It is a very beautiful lake, if you are into running its a nice spot

Nice lake. Found it on google maps and visited it. Giid restaurants around and had a great walk.

Great scenery and the water has an optimal wetness.

Super panorama

A great place to enjoy nature! It’s comfortable even on very hot days thanks to the plenty of shade and the cool breeze from the river. The trail is easy and suitable for all levels..

This was a fun walk, wear sensible foot wear - mostly so you don't loose your treasured flip flop into the torrent below! It's not expensive and it's pretty spectacular. Not challenging (unless you're not keen on high suspended walk ways over gorges and rapids!). Can be quite busy and parts get congested and require you wait for your turn to pass.

Absolutely stunning natural gorge open for 156 years. The footbridge was nicely build since than but with upgrades of course. For non adventurous peraon like me, it's scary to walk on the footbridge but definitely worth going here. Recommend to wear anti-slip shoes and bring less things with you. Ticket is at €6

Absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth the, in my opinion, small entry fee (€6,-). A nice walk through a steep and interestingly shaped gorge, where a narrow deck/bridge, suspended from the side of the wall, takes you along and above the flowing waters at the bottom of the crevices. For most of the route, the walkway is halfway between the top and bottom of the gorge, which gives a impressive view of the worn out stone and swirling river below. Near the end of the route, the walls open up and you get a view from just above the gorge. Looking down, there are many, massive blocks of stone that have sheared of the very walls you're standing on and have tumbled down into the waters. All in all a very impressive sight.

A truly magical place. I returned after two years and it didn't disappoint at all. Ps. look for the magic of the place, faces and creatures can hide in every stone ;)

Astonishing natural beauty with a wonderful high ledge walk. Was great that it was raining and quiet. Beautiful place

We had an amazing day there! We stayed in Annecy for a few days, without a car, and decided to go there by public transportation. It took around 1 hour by bus and we had to walk 20min (not an easy path, it was a steep descent which we had to go up after). The experience in Gorges du Fier worth the work to get there, the place is beautiful and it was not full of people, which made our pictures look so nice! There’s a small shop, bar and toilets before entering the park. Our card didn’t work to buy tickets so we paid with cash, keep this in mind because there’s no ATM there. I definitely recommend this visit! It’s totally possible with public transportation and walk but it’s easier by car! ☺️

I went to the Grand Cercle Casino at Aix-les-Bains, not long ago to see a musical comedy of Miserables, organized by Aix-les-Bains conservatory and treater school. The interior of the Casino is grandiose, the ceilings magnificent, colorful and gilded.There's also a large statue in the center of the entrance. The auditorium is very pleasant, well laid out, the signs are comfortable and the architecture provides perefctaccoustics. And the staff are very pleasant. A small downside for the parking, where you couldn't longer pay by card, which seems to be a recurring problem ... But I recommend it !

The building itself is beautiful but it hasn't been helped by it now being a casino

This was the first casino I’ve been inside - I was more interested in seeing the inside of the building which I think is 200 years old and the ceilings are very ornate and lovely architecture in this old building. Did think it was spoiled a bit by all the flashing lights of the electronic machines - they weren’t particularly exciting from my perspective but quite a few people sitting there just constantly hitting buttons to play the machines. You did need a passport to get in (or other national identity document - dont think driving licence counts).. Worthwhile to see inside, but if you’re not into gambling could easily be in and out in 10 mins.

Nice ambience and the hall has an impressive ceiling. Finding parking was a mission possibly being the weekend. A bit too crowded for my liking as at one stage, it was difficult to find a place at virtual roulette machines. I did not check out the lounge which looked posh and quite well stocked. The drink choice at the small bar however was very limited.

Beautiful and impressive building, historical. Lots of cash machines, free coffe and juices, no daylight, everything is done to make you stay as long as possible and forget time is running.

Impressive building on the outside, equally nice on the inside. Visited for business reasons attending a conference. Not the best facilities for such an event.

Felt safe and not forced to gamble. Vert beautiful as well.

Great location for hiking or even taking a hot drink and enjoying the view. Many visitors, winter or summer, for skiing or mountain activities.

It has a magnificent view of the lake Bourget and Alps at the same time to opposite direction.

It’s a beautiful summit. Not the highest in France but it overlooks Aix les Bains and the lake in the valley below and it’s possible to see the rest of the beautiful Bauges Massif from this point. The hike up is steep and at times a little perilous - for proper hikers only; no runners. You’re rewarded at the top with a large bar/restaurant to rest those weary legs and inviting and friendly staff.

Excellent views. Can see mt blanc. View over aix les bain. Nice winding roads. Feels cold in summer.

Excellent. Extremely advise for visiting

Fantastic view

Nice place

It is a very impressive building, and the refurbishment of it is very impressive. Lots of history and at the moment has an art exhibition, which will please a lot of people, but I am afraid I am still old school. At 6.50 euros, it is great value. WC's are available in a couple of places, so no need to cross your legs. It's a shame they don't have rides to the top, from the market, but it was very hot, 31 degrees today. 20.06.25. A great visit, thank you 😊

There’s a fair few pieces of nice work in many mediums. I’m not so much of a fan of the modern artwork, but I loved a lot of the sculptures and landscape paintings. Much prefer the museum opposite.

It is worth the effort to walk up the short but steep hill to the chateau for the views alone but it was also worthwhile going inside. Lots of interesting art, both old and new (ish). It's a pretty cheap place to visit and you can go when it suits, no need to book ahead of time. We spent about an hour there which was more than enough. Takes about 10mins to walk there from the base of the hill on old town.

A must-visit in Annecy! ⭐️ Beautiful, historic, and very memorable! The castle offers stunning views of the lake and mountains, and the museum inside has a fascinating collection of regional art and history.

Great expectations… and disappointments to match As impressive as the castle looks from the outside, the visit itself was just as disappointing. I'll start with what I liked (because this list is way shorter than the one with the negative points): 1. The painting gallery, where you can admire several works (originals, according to the supervisors) by great painters, including a small painting by Fragonard and, most notably, "The Massacre of the Innocents" by Pieter Brueghel the Younger 2. The (temporary) exhibition "L’épopée burgonde" - the arrival and installation of the Burgundians in Haute-Savoie region 3. Behind the castle, there is a spot from which you can admire Lake Annecy surrounded by mountains What I didn’t like: 1. Most of the rooms in the main castle building are completely empty: no furniture, drawings, paintings, period clothing, weapons, courtly objects… nothing but cement and wood 2. An almost total lack of information — the organizers didn’t bother to put up even basic informative panels, so many tourists wandered around speculating: “this was probably where…” 3. Many areas inside the castle are not accessible to the public 4. The old shooting holes have been “completed” with modern windows, which not only spoil the charm of the building, but also prevent visitors from taking photos, as the glass is far from transparent 5. The modern art exhibition is absolutely ridiculous — in fact, it’s not art at all (I’ll upload a picture so you can judge the quality of these so-called “works”). On top of that, the exhibition takes up many rooms on the upper floor — so many that it felt like it would never end 6. The other two buildings of the complex host exhibitions that have nothing to do with a medieval castle; for example, one of them focuses on the fauna of the nearby lake and on fishing vessels… well, if I want to know more about the fish in the lake, I’ll go to a fish-farming museum or a natural science museum, right? 7. In the basement of one of the towers there are several tiny aquariums, poorly maintained and without plants for the animals to hide in; each contains a few unhappy fish swimming in endless circles 8. The crenels of the towers have also been covered with windows through which you can’t take pictures (in fact, you can’t even see properly). This is even more frustrating because some of these windows overlook the beautiful Lake Annecy 9. If you’re thinking of climbing the walls or the fortified gate, think again — access is prohibited 10. On top of everything, I stood in line for tickets for a very long time… and I really regret doing so. Final score: 2 stars, and those only for the art gallery (which could just as well have been housed elsewhere, not in a restored medieval castle) and for the exhibition dedicated to the Duchy of Burgundy. Without them, even one star would have been too generous.

A wonderful castle standing on a slightly higher point in Annecy. One of the steep hills brings you there (not too steep for a wheelchair apparently as Ive seen people go up with some help) Be sure to check it out, sometimes it even has expositions inside, also the view from the castle is excellent

Nice place to visit you can buy a multi ticket to also visit the old prison in town which takes about an hour then time for a coffee and then up the steep hill to the beautiful château. Lots to see very interesting.

A wonderful spot to admire the lake. The water is so clear and if you go early or is a very peaceful place. It is a very busy spot for locals exercising and tourists. It is very close to the old town so you should have no trouble walking there.

Beautiful place with a panoramic view towards the lake. You can also see people doing paddle. Breathtaking. But nothing to do but to take the photos and relax a big

If you’re in Annecy, a stop at the Pont des Amours is a must. Nestled between the peaceful waters of Lake Annecy and the tree-lined canals of the Jardins de l’Europe, this charming iron footbridge isn’t just a picturesque viewpoint — it’s steeped in legend and local romance. The name Bridge of Love is no accident. According to local lore, if two lovers kiss on the bridge, they’ll stay together forever. Whether or not you believe in the magic, the setting is undeniably dreamy: swans glide beneath you, the Alps rise in the background, and the lake sparkles under the sun.

Beautiful. Especially the wooden boat tide €17 per person for 30 minutes is awesome. Also the view from the bridge in itself is satisfying

Incredibly beautiful bridge with stunning views. Perfect photo spot

Very crowded area filled with passive aggressive couples trying to snap fake kisses for their boring Insta pages. The surrounding area around is much better: parks, icecream vendors, boat rental

Romantic spot with stunning views! 🫶🏻

Fantastic, very touristy nowadays but there are still some hidden gems that are quiet but you’ll need a car to find them (one was through an industrial estate so very hidden). Restaurants are great and people very friendly

This would have been beautiful in the right weather. It was just our luck that we arrived in the height of Summer, at the end of a heatwave and were met with heavy rain and thunderstorms o the water didn't have its famous greenish-blue hue. It is a lovely natural beauty surrounded by mountains.

I was just remembering how much we loved it there last year. My son and I rented bikes and went all around the lake. We also got a pedal boat and took a swim. Saw some young people doing a rope swing jump and did that too. Fabulous.

I took a day trip from Lyon, a great place, I'm sorry I only stayed one day, it's definitely worth 2-3 days! A place not to be missed if you're in the area!

It is a MUST to go, partying, water scakating, swimming and lots of boat cruises around the great lake surrounded by magnificent mountains. 30 min away and your up amongst snowy mountains as early as September.

Absolutely breathtaking! The lake is crystal clear and surrounded by stunning mountains. Perfect for swimming, cycling, and relaxing. Annecy is truly a gem — Can’t wait to return

We love Annecy, always a good spot to relax and enjoy the nature! Great views and lovely people!

Small, family kind of station, with a single lift and several attractions for both kid and adults. Due to a bit remote location it's rather quiet, although the activities get crowded on the weekends (in summer). Good place to start a hike with spectacular views on both the Annecy Lake and the Mont Blanc range. Also a paragliding take off with commercial tandem flights available for non-pilots.

Very fun. Safe. Low attendance at noon. Children above 1.05m can take rides. Funny pictures. Amazing view on the mountain.

What a great place! There is a few things to do here, try the luge which is fast but safe. Or try the downhill course for the buggies. You can even try the free slack lines, some people make it look easy but it's certainly not, but good fun. The buggies you steer yourself down a course with long runs and tight bends. If you don't fancy that just take the ski lift to the top and enjoy the amazing views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding mountains. There are public toilets at both the base station and at the top. If you are energetic you can hike up from the base station too. And when at the top it is another hike to the top peak of La Sambuy which is 1198m high! Wow!!

Never been on a ski lift before but was ea9to get on and off than I expected. Views on way up/down amazing so was the views on top. Good value for money and also did the bombsledge and tubeing.

What a view! We got here early and got the chairlift up to the top, literally a few others around and even a place to get a drink. After taking in the views we then enjoyed the ride down. From here we got a coffee at the restaurant and enjoyed a few goes on the luge which was great fun.

Great amusement Park for kids. Be sure to go all the way to the top for a beer and some cheese. And maybe for the view also if that's your thing 😁

Enjoyed the ride up. Very foggy unfortunately, but that did add a sense of mystery to walking around at the top. Eco toilets at the top: hope to see more of those at remote locations.
