Why september is the best month for a cruise on Lake Annecy

Enjoy lake annecy in september!

September is arguably the most pleasant month to explore lake annecy by boat. With the end of the high tourist season and the beginning of indian summer, the lake regains its tranquility while offering stunning landscapes.


Fewer crowds, more serenity

Most tourists leave after summer, which means fewer people on the lake and in the surrounding villages. You can enjoy a calmer, more intimate experience, perfect for family outings, romantic trips, or bachelorette/bachelor groups. The docks are less crowded, making boarding and departure easier.

Golden light for stunning photos


September mornings and evenings offer soft, golden light, perfect for photos and video memories. The sunlight reflecting on the water and surrounding mountains creates postcard-worthy scenery.
It is also the perfect time for professional photo shoots: enjoy an exceptional natural setting and the option to rent a boat with a skipper for your shots.


Pleasant temperatures

Temperatures in september are generally mild and comfortable: neither too hot nor too cold. Sunny days allow you to enjoy the upper deck of the boats while taking in the view. Even the evenings remain pleasant for a sunset cruise, perfect for a romantic moment or a memorable bachelorette party.


Landscapes with vibrant colors

The vegetation around the lake begins to show its autumn hues, with vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. The mountains and forests reflected in the lake create an exceptional natural spectacle. September panoramic cruises are therefore perfect for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts.


Perfect for any occasion

For bachelorette or bachelor parties: calmer atmosphere and the option to easily privatize a boat. But also for romantic outings and anniversaries: sunset cruises or scenic routes. Not to mention family trips: fewer crowds and more comfort for children.
