Audio Guide of the Lake Shore Segway Tour

The tour is available from April to October, with morning tours at 9:00 and afternoon tours at 16:00, depending on the season.

The price is approximately €35 per person for a 1-hour tour, including Segway rental and a guide. It is not free, and bookings are made in advance to secure a spot; children under 14 cannot participate. Book through the booking portal to avoid queues.

The typical tour lasts between 1 and 1.5 hours, allowing you to enjoy the route without rushing. It is recommended to allow at least 2 hours in total, including the initial briefing and preparation time. It is ideal for a relaxed morning or afternoon.

Lake Annecy, along which the tour runs, is one of the cleanest lakes in Europe and has been a tourist destination since the 19th century, with roots in the medieval history of the Savoy region. The Segway allows you to explore landscapes that inspired Impressionist artists, highlighting the fusion of nature and French cultural heritage.

Summer, from June to August, is ideal because of the good weather, but spring or autumn offer fewer crowds and spectacular views. Choose early morning or sunset to avoid the heat and enjoy the golden light over the lake.

Unfortunately, the Segway tour is not suitable for people with reduced mobility, as it requires balance and leg strength to operate the vehicle. If you need alternatives, consider boat tours on the lake, which are more accessible; check with the operator for adapted options.

Nearby you will find Annecy Castle just a 10-minute walk away, the charming Old Town with its canals, and the Gardens of Europe for a picnic. You can also visit the Annecy Castle Museum for more local history; everything is within a 2 km radius, perfect for combining visits.

Wear closed, comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and bring a bottle of water, as the tour involves outdoor movement. Book at least 24 hours in advance, especially in high season, and arrive 15 minutes early for the safety briefing. For an enhanced experience, consider a complementary audio guide at IAudioguia.
