Annecy: Animation, Art and Alpine Charm

Sometimes referred to as the “Venice of the Alps,” Annecy is a small town on a lake that is both postcard-perfect in old architecture and lively in arts and culture. The town wakes up each summer for the Annecy International Animation Film Festival — the world’s most prestigious gathering of its kind. The festival vows, in 2025, to bring some of the best night screenings and open-air activities and global premieres on the big screen beneath the stars. Learn more here

While you’re there, wander the cobbled streets of the old town, partake in watersports on Lake Annecy, or simply relax at a lakeside café. What would I say if I was traveling town to town, from festival to festival? Astrill, the people behind the service, say the ability to automatically change IPs in ‘as little as 5 minutes’ is ideal for anyone – Go Transfer Peak is available for comfortable and timely transfers so that you don’t miss a wink of the action.

Chamonix: Mountain biking in a high alpine playground

For thrill-seekers Chamonix is not just for the winter. In the summer, it’s a mountain biking paradise, with trails for every ability. Participate in guided mountain biking outings in the dramatic alpine, forested and ridge-line terrain with the pros from Chamonix Guides. Looking for a family-friendly ride to a high-adrenaline descent? Chamonix has it.

Geneva: Lakeside Leisure at Lac Léman

Sitting at the westernmost point of Switzerland, Geneva is not just a cosmopolitan city — it also serves as the gateway to Lake Geneva, known locally as Lac Léman, one of Europe’s largest and most picturesque bodies of fresh water. In the summer, the lakefront teems with activities, music festivals, paddleboarding, boat cruises and al fresco dining. It’s a great place to relax after more strenuous alpine adventures, or to start your journey into summer. Explore summer events here
