The French Alps stand out as the perfect honeymoon destination for nature-loving couples seeking moments of deep connection amidst breathtaking landscapes. Discover the most romantic spots for your honeymoon in the Alps, whether in the mountains—Chamonix, Val d’Isère, Megève, or Courchevel—or by the lakeside, such as in Annecy. We also share our top ideas for exceptional experiences to make your journey as a couple truly unforgettable.

Annecy, often called the "Little Venice of the Alps," exudes the poetic charm of its Italian namesake. Known as the city of lovers with its authentic canals, Annecy invites you to step into a timeless escape. Stroll through the heart of the old town, where the picturesque Thiou River winds its way through stone and wooden bridges. The Italian influence is also reflected in the colorful facades of the pedestrian streets, adding to the town’s enchanting allure. Nestled in an extraordinary setting, Annecy stretches along a turquoise lake, surrounded by stunning mountain scenery, immersing you in a dreamlike atmosphere where time seems to stand still.

Be sure to capture a romantic photo in front of the iconic Palais de l’Isle, undoubtedly the city’s most emblematic landmark—an unforgettable memento of your honeymoon.

From the Jardins de l’Europe, which line the crystal-clear waters of Lake Annecy, take a moment to admire the breathtaking scenery from the Pont des Amours. Then, gaze up at the imposing Château d’Annecy, towering majestically over the town.

Gourmet couples with a passion for local flavors will find bliss at Michelin-starred restaurants overlooking the lake’s shimmering waters. Indulge in a wine and cheese tasting at the historic Talloires Abbey, embark on a tour of the Savoyard vineyards, or explore the flavors of Annecy’s bustling market. For a truly unique experience, set sail on a romantic cruise while savoring a traditional fondue—a moment of pure magic on the water.

Annecy is also a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Adventurous couples can embark on breathtaking hikes up Mont Veyrier for panoramic views or explore hidden trails on an electric mountain bike during your honeymoon in the Alps.

And for an unforgettable thrill, take to the skies with a paragliding flight from Col de la Forclaz—an experience that will stay with you forever.

As night falls, let the fairytale continue with a stay in a historic palace featuring stunning lake views, a rejuvenating spa, and an intimate, candlelit aperitif—an enchanting ending to a perfect day in Annecy.
