Annemasse, between city and mountains at the gates of Geneva

Welcome to Annemasse, a dynamic town in Haute-Savoie, located a few kilometers from Geneva and at the foot of the Alpine massifs. A border town, it seduces as much for its lively urban setting as for its many possibilities for outdoor activities.

A lively and cosmopolitan city center
Annemasse offers a cosmopolitan atmosphere with its many restaurants, shops and lively markets. The Place de l'Hôtel de Ville is a central point where you can sit on a terrace and enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains. Not to be missed is the Annemasse Market, where local producers and local flavors mingle in an explosion of colors and scents.

A gateway to the Alps
Close to Mont Salève, Annemasse is an ideal starting point for hiking and mountain sports enthusiasts. A cable car ride takes you to the top of the Salève, offering spectacular views of Geneva, Lake Geneva and the Alpine peaks. In winter, the Portes du Soleil ski resorts are within easy reach for a day on the slopes.

Activities between nature and adventure
The Parc Montessuit, in the heart of the city, is a pleasant place for a walk or a family picnic. For a more sporty getaway, head to the Gorges du Giffre, where you can go rafting and canyoning in a breathtaking natural setting.

A gourmet Savoyard cuisine
It’s hard to stay in Haute-Savoie without tasting a Savoyard fondue or a tartiflette, ideal after a day in the mountains. Diots au vin blanc, small local sausages, are also an unmissable specialty.
