The Region

Stretching south from Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman), the largest lake in Western Europe, to Mont Blanc, the largest mountain in Europe, Haute Savoie is one of the most frequented destinations of the skiing fraternity. The département has some of the most sought after and chic ski resorts, from Chamonix, which hosted the first ever Winter Olympics in 1924, with its Alpine Museum at the foot of the towering splendour of Mont Blanc, to the sophisticated station of Megève – the first ever winter sports resort, created in 1921. Annecy, capital of the département, sits on the northern shores of its lake, reputed to be the cleanest natural lake in Europe, as well as the most romantic in France. With buildings full of faded elegance and reminiscent of the 'Belle Epoque', the town has great charm and has a colourful annual 'Lake Festival'. The old town, crisscrossed by tributaries of the River Thiou, is known as the Venice of the Alps, its streets in summer coloured by numerous displays of geraniums.
