Day trips from Annecy to Switzerland in Sept
A couple is excited about their 4-day trip to Annecy in mid-September and plans to explore Switzerland during their visit. They are looking for scenic day trip ideas, considering the Mont Blanc Multipass for the Chamonix/Aiguille Cable car, and have questions about driving into Switzerland. They're in their 60s, adventurous, enjoy good food, but prefer less strenuous activities.
- Consider a day trip to Geneva, which is only a 40-minute drive from Annecy.
- Combine your visit with a scenic drive along Lake Geneva and explore the Lavaux vineyards and Montreux.
- Check with the operator regarding the Mont Blanc Multipass for specific details and benefits.
- Remember to review Swiss road rules and mountain driving tips before your trip.

Hi everyone – love this forum!
My wife and I are headed to Annecy in the middle of september for 4 days, and she is VERY excited to drive into Switzerland!
1 – Any ideas on scenic day trips?
2 – The only firm plans we have are to take the Chamonix/Aiguille Cable car on Day 2.Should we get a Mont Blanc Multipass for this?
3 – Also, we are renting in Annecy – anything we should know coming into Switzerland (thankfully, have read the ‘driving in the mountains’, ‘switzerland road rules’, etc posts – thank you admins for these :-))
PS – we are in our 60’s, vaccinated, adventurous, love good food, but not in super hiking shape 😉
Thanks in advance!!

Hi jpete5,
Welcome to MySwissAlps.
It’s great to know that you are planning a day trip to Switzerland. Annecy is very close to the border and it’s common for travellers to make a day trip to Geneva. It’s a just a short drive, about 40 mins via the motorway. For sightseeing options in Geneva, have a look here: http://www.myswissalps.com/geneva/activities
To make the most of your trip, why not combine it with a drive along Lake Geneva and visit the Lavaux vineyards and lovely Montreux. You could also do a lake cruise if you have time.
Hope this gets you started.
About the Mont Blanc multipass, it’s best to contact the operator for information as I am not familiar with this travel pass.
Regards,
Anna
