The Réserve Naturelle Marais du Bout du Lac d’Annecy is another great opportunity to enjoy the waterfront in the quiet of nature. There are some beautiful boardwalks winding through wetlands and forest, with great views of the lake and surrounding mountains. From the parking area, runners can follow a “lollipop” shaped route out towards the water. Boardwalks continue out to the Tour Médiévale fortress, then loop inland, skirting L’Eau Morte before returning to the main road. The loop is 3 km, but the Voie Verte bike path is nearby if runners want to extend their mileage.

Other Routes in Annecy, France
The most accessible running route in Annecy is along the northern waterfront of Lac d’Annecy. Great views, and scenic highlights like the Pont des Amours.
The best long distance running in Annecy is the Voie Verte, a paved cycling path stretching 35 km between Annecy and Ugine. Combination of along the water and inland. The first 5 km is mostly along the water, so that would be a nice 10k out and back.
A great way to explore the Old Town of Annecy is to run the pretty promenades along Le Thiou. It’s crowded near the center of the city, but opens up as runners reach rural sections to the west. Add on with Jardin de l'Europe & Quai de la Tournette.
A network of wooded, gravel paths between the Parcours Sportif de Meythet and the Centre Sportif Marcel Dassault in the northeast reaches of Annecy. Good running track in the adjacent Parc des Sports.
The waterfront of Saint Jorioz is another scenic running option, with pretty concrete and gravel paths lining the lakeside. Run a 5 km out and back, or combine with the Voie Verte for a loop.
Find easygoing trail running on the smooth dirt paths leading through the meadows and ridgelines of Semnoz, just west of Saint Jorioz. We’ve mapped a 6.5 km route.
