Lake Annecy and Auberge du Père Bise

Auberge du Père Bise sits right on the water, facing the Savoy mountains.
To enrich your stay, we have included a few memorable experiences:

– a 2-hour private boat trip with the auberge’s skipper, including a picnic lunch
– a private fast-boat transfer between the auberge and the centre of Annecy
– a 2-hour private guided tour of Annecy
– a 4-hour mountain hike with a private guide
– a treatment at the Spa of Auberge du Père Bise
– a discovery dinner at the gastronomic restaurant Jean Sulpice, 2 Michelin stars

Its privileged setting on the shores of Lake Annecy allows you to fully immerse yourself in its atmosphere, exploring it by boat or kayak. With your private skipper, you will discover the lake over two hours by boat, punctuated by a picnic lunch prepared by Chef Jean Sulpice.

In the afternoon, you will again travel by boat to meet your guide for a tour of Annecy’s old town. With him, you will uncover the secrets of this former residence of the counts of Geneva, learn more about its history and all that makes its heritage so rich.
Back at the auberge, you will enjoy the sunset over Lake Annecy before heading to your reserved table at Chef Jean Sulpice’s gastronomic restaurant for a memorable dinner.

The following day, after a short drive, you will set off hiking with your private guide — for example towards the summit of La Tournette (a pleasant 2.5-hour accessible loop with a fine view over the lake) or towards the Col de la Forclaz, up to the Chalet de l’Aup. This more sustained 4-hour hike takes in the alpine pastures and magnificent views over the lake and mountains (this guided 4-hour hike is included in the price of the stay).
On your return from this outing, a relaxation session at the auberge’s spa will be well deserved!

By extending your stay at Auberge du Père Bise, you can discover further experiences, including:

– Multiple hiking options at various levels of difficulty. Some are easily accessible for families, even with young children.
– The essential 42km loop of the lake by bike, with Moustache electric-assist bikes. Bikes are available for hire directly from the auberge.
– Kayaking or water-skiing sessions on the lake, departing from Talloires harbour.
– For thrill-seekers: introductory paragliding, canyoning or via ferrata sessions.
– A night spent camping on the cliffs with a Savoyard dinner in the open air.
