Aix-les-Bains along with Annecy is one of the most beautiful towns in France.
- Lac du Bourget: Stretching 18 km, Bourget is the largest natural lake in France, surrounded by viewpoints & stunning peaks of the French alps.  This lake, which has inspired the greatest poets and as aptly stated by the famous poet, Balzac - Nowhere could one find such perfect concord between water, mountains, earth and sky. Bourget also offers visitors an array of water sports and bathing opportunities.

This trail takes you along the ridge to 3 epic viewpoints over lake Annecy, with a massive cross marking each spot. We can also view the other iconic mountains including Baron & Mont Veyrier across the lake, and the tall la Tournette peak. This trail offers one of the best views/difficulty ratios of the Annecy hiking trails.
- Discover Lake Annecy: One of Europe’s Purest lakes and providing one of France’s most spectacular settings with the steep wooded and snow-capped mountains rising majestically above the stunning yet peaceful turquoise waters of Lake Annecy combining to make it an unforgettable view. Lake Annecy is also the base for a wide range of sporting activities and cruises across the lake including being famous for its paragliding activity as winds are generally gentle and air conditions are perfect.

It was wonderful experience of 5 days 4 nights of Alta, Norway. Best Northern light experience we had.
Organiser Maddy and local counterpart Karan was best in accommodating and understanding us.
It was worth for each penny.
Thank you Maddy, Karan 😃
