Semnoz MTB Descent (Annecy)

The Semnoz is a mid-altitude mountain in the Bauges Massif (Haute-Savoie) overlooking Annecy. Its two highest peaks, Crêt de Chatillon (1,699 m) and Crêt de l’Aigle (1,646 m), offer a 360° panoramic view of the surrounding ranges: the Alps, the Jura, and the Massif Central. On clear days, you can even see Mont Blanc!

The name “Semnoz” comes from the Latin “salmon”, due to its fish-like shape.
