On your arrival, your luxury travel will begin with a lavish experience at the exclusive 5-star Imperial Palace overlooking the gleaming Lake Annecy. A serene walk takes you to the century-old lovers' bridge (Pont des Amours). Enjoy delicious French cuisine at L'Esquisse before retiring to your suite in comfort.
Begin the day with a boat tour of Lake Annecy, a sight to behold with clear turquoise water and enchanting panoramas of French Alps in the background. Visit the richly decorated Palace of the Island (Palais de l'Isle) before heading to the Castle Museum (Château d'Annecy), and relish the breathtaking view of the town and lakeside from the fortress.
Chamonix Mont Blanc, a luxurious resort town brimming with enthralling activities and marvelous views of mountains, glaciers and forests usher you in with an exquisite Alpine train ride. Relish a cable car ride to Aiguille du Midi, from where you can capture the most extraordinary vista of the dazzling Alps. Then savor the exquisite delicacies at La Tablee and complete your day with cocktails at the prestigious Bar 605 at Hotel Mont-Blanc.
Have a leisurely start to your day, enjoy fresh breakfast with handcrafted coffee at Café des Aiguilles, and take a relaxing stroll around the town's quaint boutiques before departing to the airport with unforgettable memories of a truly luxurious vacation.
To fully explore Lake Annecy and Chamonix, it is recommended to hire a chauffeur-driven luxury vehicle. You can also use the train to Chamonix Mont-Blanc, and experience the route's delight with operable windows to enjoy the alpine air. Expect the cost of luxury car services to start from £500 and train fares from £58.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Annecy Regional Nature Park for a spectacular immersive experience in French wildlife. Also, plan a visit during winter for different adventure activities such as skiing, exploring ice caves, and experiencing snowshoe trails around Chamonix. However, if you have less time, you can opt-out of the leisurely morning on the last day and directly proceed to the airport.
