Lake Annecy is a magnet. You can water ski, wakeboard, kite surf, row, or just let yourself be mesmerized by its silvery waves or sky bursting with fireworks. The city is celebrated as much for its pyrotechnic arts as for its superb animated film festival. As far as La Clusaz, this region gives pride of place to nature and the spirit of celebration. In winter, you can descend the slopes on a snowboard, a traditional sled called a “paret” or by skijoring, in which you are pulled along by horses. You can even dance to the rhythm of the DJs while savoring mulled wine...

Hotel and restaurant on a lake. This fine early 20th-century mansion on the banks of Lake Annecy is a rhapsody of blue and gold: the blue of the façade and the lake viewed from the terrace meets the golden yellow of the wood cladding the walls and the sun that shines into the guestrooms through the large picture windows. This house offers an intimate setting with a warm, cosy ambiance. And all around is resplendent nature, as celebrated by the Chef's cuisine. Since 2010, Yoann Conte, following in the footsteps of Marc Veyrat, has drawn his inspiration from the passing seasons and their plants to reinterpret local cuisine, serving, for example, fish from the lake with fresh herbs and alpine flowers. ...

I was born in Aix-les-Bains to a family of restaurateurs, so entertaining and sharing were part of my upbringing. As a teenager, I served my apprenticeship in a Michelin-starred restaurant in Le Bourget-du-Lac. Later on, I made up my mind to send a CV to Marc Veyrat (on blue paper). The four and a half years I spent alongside the 'man in the hat' were filled with joy, tears and all the stuff of cooking and life. He taught me that there are no rules to gastronomy, it is based on inspiration, emotion and history. It was also there that I met a brilliant sommelier named Magali who would become my wife. I've always found it hard leaving my mountains. So much so I opted to stay in Savoy rather than accept Pierre Gagnaire's offer to move to Sketch in London. I need to be in touch with the land, to feel it and hold its produce in my hands. So these days I live between Val Thorens and Parc des Bauges. A universe between the high mountains and snow. Twice or three times a week before sunrise, I take out my climbing skins and ski over towards Cime de Caron or Aiguille de Péclet and then come back down to my stoves ...
