Lake Annecy, often called Europe's cleanest lake, offers perfect conditions for stand-up paddleboarding with its calm, turquoise waters and stunning backdrop of surrounding mountains, while Lake Geneva provides expansive paddling opportunities with breathtaking views of the Mont Blanc massif. The region's numerous smaller alpine lakes, accessible by hiking trails, offer more adventurous paddlers the chance to explore remote mountain tarns surrounded by pristine wilderness.
