About this tour
Glide through Annecy on a Segway for an hour, taking in the lake's Alpine backdrop without the legwork. Your guide provides running commentary as you navigate the waterfront and town centre, covering ground you'd otherwise miss on foot. A quirky way to orientate yourself while the novelty of self-balancing wheels keeps things entertaining.

What to expect
You'll get a brief orientation and safety rundown before mounting your Segway. The learning curve is genuinely shallow—most riders find their balance within minutes. You'll move at a steady pace along the lakeside promenade and through quieter town routes, with your guide stopping occasionally to highlight landmarks and share local context. The pace is relaxed rather than adrenaline-fuelled; this is sightseeing with a twist, not a thrill ride.
