LAKE AND MOUNTAINS AFTER SUMMER, WHY CHOOSE ?

Between lake and mountains, you have to choose ... or not!

The summer season is coming to an end.
But nothing prevents you from enjoying this period, which is much quieter than in midsummer. Find out why come to Annecy and La Clusaz as autumn approaches.
 

ANNECY

The Imperial Annecy Festival continues ...

After this summer edition ending with the hilarious Sandine Sarroche on 28th August, and to keep the rhythm, the Imperial Annecy Festival is putting on the colors of autumn and offers you one concert or show per month until November!
 
For the Jazz part, it's the big band, led by Gianpaolo Petrini, made up of the 16 best musicians of the Italian jazz scene who will be on stage on Friday 18th September.
 
On the Classical side, it is a daring trio that will take you on a journey through a concert of lightness, finesse and fantasy. Discover Offenbach: The Tales of an Enchanted Evening, with passionate musicians Raquel Camarinha, Henri Dermaquette and Yoan Hereau, on Saturday 17th October.
 
Finally, on Saturday 14th November, it's Le Comte de Bouderbala who returns with his highly anticipated second show. An evening where laughter will be in the spotlight!
 
 

“Coup de théâtre” Festival 

From 12th to 20th September, don't miss the 9th edition of the “Coup de Théâtre” festival in Annecy. For 9 days, Annecy celebrates!
No less than 16 performances and 11 concerts are organized in the most unusual and heritage places of Annecy, or in the open air, bringing together more than 35 artists!
 
 

European Heritage Days

Take advantage of the European Heritage Days from 18th to 20th September to discover or rediscover emblematic places of the Little Venice of the Alps. Go through the doors of buildings such as the Museum of Animated Films, the Conservatory of Art and History of Annecy, the old Bell Tower of Annecy-le-Vieux or our Imperial Palace hotel... Let yourself be guided between culture and history for these two days dedicated to the heritage of the city of Annecy.
 
 

The magic of autumn

Summer is coming to an end. But the sun often continues to shine, even after the summer season. With its shimmering colors, nature takes on a whole new aspect. A great opportunity to discover the city differently, under the orange leaves that will cover the edges of the lake or in the woods.
 
 

What if it rains?

Yes because of course it may happen (even for the best). But the little Venice of the Alps is not without resources at such times. Rainy days are undoubtedly the ideal time to visit the historic and cultural buildings of Annecy. On rainy days, discover the Château d'Annecy, whose museum regularly presents temporary exhibitions, the Palais de l'Ile, an emblematic monument of Annecy, which housed the old prisons of Annecy or the Basilica of the Visitation, religious building which dominates the city. And of course, now is the time to try local treats made with cheese.
And for the gamers, the Imperial Casino opens its doors to you all year round. Between Poker, Black Jack, Electronic roulette and Keno, you will not be left out!
An opportunity to discover a new and only game available in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes region! The table games room now offers you a new offer around Black Jack: 21 + 3! A game variation of traditional Black Jack that is a fusion of two popular card games including Black Jack and 3 Card Poker. The rules remain the same, ie except you always play against the bank (croupier) and not against other players. 
 
 

High Five Festival

While the High Five won't be celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, we promise that the Ski Cannes Festival will come back even bigger in 2021!

Skate park

Skiing in winter, wakeboarding in summer ... But can we still have fun during the off-season? We are happy to report that YES. Sliding enthusiasts will be able to enjoy a skatepark and a mini-ramp in the heart of the village of La Clusaz. Whether you prefer scootering, skateboarding or rollerblading, this is the perfect opportunity to continue training and have fun in the heart of the Aravis massif.
 
 

Hiking

The off-seasons are undoubtedly the best time to explore the mountain. Neither too hot nor too cold. As on the shores of the lake, the mountain changes to red-orange hues. Far from summer frequentation, going on a hike in autumn will allow you to take your most beautiful pictures, as if nature belonges to you. And to leave with lasting memories ...
 
Our Groupe PVG establishments provide hiking guides during your stay.
 

A snack at the Corbassières farm

Take a snack break and taste local specialties made from Reblochon, blueberry and wild raspberry jam, farmhouse Reblochon and Tomme, homemade fromage blanc, as well as a hot or cold drink. The Corbassières alpine farm offers you a superb panoramic view of the Aravis range, which will make your gourmet break absolutely unique.
