The water of Lake Annecy comes from a glacier. The lake is a real wonder of purity. The lake has an area of 27.4 km² and is 80 meters deep. Many water sports and boat trips are organized on the crystal clear and idyllic water.
The lake was formed about 18,000 years ago from the meltwater of the great glaciers in the Alps of the last Ice Age.
The lake is now fed by a number of streams that originate in the surrounding mountains, such as the Ire, the Eau morte, the Laudon, the Bornette and the Biolon, and by a powerful underground source, the Boubioz.
The lake is surrounded by the Massif des Bornes and Massif des Bauges mountain ranges. The lake drains into the River Thiou and the Vassé Canal, which come together again and feed the River Fier. The Fier in turn ends up in the Rhône.
