Annecy in May<\/strong>, with its picturesque charm and spectacular Alpine setting, reveals itself in a particularly enchanting light. As spring reaches its peak<\/strong>, the town and the area around the lake come alive, offering holidaymakers a wide range of activities and experiences. Whether you’re a nature lover, a history buff or simply looking to relax, you’re sure to find a good reason to visit Annecy in May<\/strong>. Here’s some information to help you plan your stay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


What’s the weather like in Annecy in May?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mai marque l’arriv\u00e9e de temp\u00e9ratures plus chaudes, avec\u00a0des moyennes allant de 10\u00b0C \u00e0 20\u00b0C \u00e0 Annecy<\/strong>. Les journ\u00e9es s’allongent, offrant plus de temps pour profiter des activit\u00e9s en plein air. Cependant, comme c’est souvent le cas au printemps, soyez pr\u00eat pour quelques averses occasionnelles. La bonne nouvelle, c’est qu’en\u00a0s\u00e9journant dans nos\u00a0campings avec piscine au lac d’Annecy<\/a>, vous pourrez profiter de nos piscines couvertes et chauff\u00e9es pour vous baigner par tout temps !

A\u00a0la Ravoire<\/strong>, la piscine int\u00e9rieure est chauff\u00e9e \u00e0 28\u00b0c ! La piscine ext\u00e9rieure est ouverte mais elle n’est pas chauff\u00e9e.

Aux Fontaines<\/strong>, le parc aquatique et les piscines sont ouverts et chauff\u00e9s \u00e0 23\u00b0c. En cas de pluie, une\u00a0verri\u00e8re<\/strong>\u00a0couvre une partie de la grande piscine et vous permet d’en profiter malgr\u00e9 tout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


4 good reasons to visit Annecy in May<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the weather isn’t enough for you, here are 3 more good reasons to spend your vacation in Annecy in May<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Events and festivities to suit all tastes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

May is rich in cultural, sporting and festive events. From music festivals to regattas on the lake, Annecy en Mai’s calendar of events<\/strong> offers a diversity to suit all tastes. Here’s a sneak preview:

The Maxi Race<\/a><\/strong> is one of the best-known and most difficult races: a trail around the lake with 94 km and 5000m of vertical drop over 2 days. Camping les Fontaines is the perfect place to spend 3 days with your family<\/strong>, who can have fun and relax while cheering you on at the halfway point.

For families, we also recommend the Grandes M\u00e9di\u00e9vales d’Andilly<\/strong><\/a>. Immerse yourself in another era with medieval craftsmen and shows in this wonderfully laid-out park. Take an all-day stroll through the knights’ encampments, discover shooting devices such as the catapult, try on chain mail, and enjoy entertainment for your children.

For all the latest news, visit Annecy’s official tourism website<\/a> before your visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

2. Fewer people and competitive rates<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bien que mai soit\u00a0l\u00e9g\u00e8rement plus anim\u00e9 qu’avril<\/strong>, il reste en dehors de la haute saison touristique, ce qui signifie que les prix des h\u00e9bergements et de certaines activit\u00e9s sont relativement mod\u00e9r\u00e9s. C’est une\u00a0bonne p\u00e9riode pour ceux qui cherchent \u00e0 \u00e9viter la foule<\/strong>\u00a0tout en profitant de\u00a0tarifs comp\u00e9titifs<\/strong>.
Nos\u00a0Campings Annecy<\/strong>\u00a0proposent des gammes de\u00a0logements<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0pour tous les go\u00fbts : insolite, cosy, relax et VIP.
Tous sont \u00e9quip\u00e9s de terrasses couvertes puis le niveau de confort est variable selon le mod\u00e8le : 2 ou 3 chambres, t\u00e9l\u00e9vision, lave-vaisselle, plancha \u00e0 gaz, vue sur les montagnes, climatisation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. It’s the best season to admire the mountains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In May, the fresh grass makes the fields bright and the budding buds turn the mountains a soft green. Snow is still visible on the mountain tops, giving them a unique reflection.
The brightness of May is perfect for taking in the sights<\/strong> while hiking around the azure-blue lake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend climbing the Cr\u00eat du Taillefer from the Oratoire de Lathuile, just above the campsite. There’s no need to take the car<\/strong>, and after about an hour’s ascent, you’ll be looking down on Lake Annecy and La Tournette. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

En famille, vous pouvez randonner jusqu’\u00e0 la\u00a0Cascade d’Angon<\/a>\u00a0qui coule \u00e0 flots \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode apr\u00e8s la fonte des neiges. Trois itin\u00e9raires de d\u00e9nivel\u00e9s diff\u00e9rents vous permettent d’acc\u00e9der au plus pr\u00e8s de la cascade. L’itin\u00e9raire est s\u00e9curis\u00e9, mais des passages sont glissants sur la fin avec la brume de la cascade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Vous pouvez profiter de\u00a0visites un peu plus longues<\/strong>\u00a0en avant-saison car les guides ont plus de temps.
Nous vous conseillons par exemple les\u00a0grotte et cascades de Seythenex<\/a>, les\u00a0jardins secrets<\/a>\u00a0ou le\u00a0Ch\u00e2teau de Menthon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
