Camping Aloua

A 5-star campsite 250 metres from Lake Annecy

Camping Aloua is located at 492 route de Piron in Sévrier, on the western shore of Lake Annecy in Haute-Savoie. Its setting is exceptional: just 250 metres from the lake, in an unspoilt area that opens the door to some of the most beautiful Alpine scenery. The greenway around the lake, directly accessible from the campsite, lets you cycle to Annecy in a matter of minutes while admiring the exceptional landscapes between lake and mountains. The 5-star estate spreads over a carefully landscaped park, with shaded, clearly marked pitches to preserve everyone’s privacy. Accommodation ranges from contemporary mobile homes to more spacious versions for large families. This natural, Alpine and lakeside dimension makes all the difference and is especially popular with families seeking a rejuvenating stay facing Alpine panoramas. Open for an extended season from 3 April to 27 September 2026, the establishment holds a rating of 7.9/10 from nearly 600 customer surveys, in a highly sought-after area for Alpine tourism.

Snack bar bar and services on the lakeshore

Camping Aloua offers a snack bar open throughout the campsite’s extended season, from 3 April to 27 September 2026, with takeaway pizzas, sharing platters, ice cream and drinks to enjoy on the terrace facing the mountains. There’s no on-site restaurant, but the proximity of Sévrier and Annecy more than makes up for it: traditional Savoyard restaurants, lakeside brasseries, fine-dining tables and farm inns on the hillsides are all within a short distance. The famous Alpine cuisine — fondue, raclette, tartiflette, Tomme de Savoie cheese — is one of the pleasures of the stay. As for entertainment, the Capfun team runs a programme suited to the estate’s scale, with friendly activities rather than large-scale evening events, respecting the calm of the Alpine setting. This restraint is one of the things regulars appreciate, as they come looking for Savoyard authenticity. Practical services include a small grocery shop, daily bread delivery, a laundrette, Wi-Fi in the communal areas and bike hire to make the most of the greenway.

The lake, the greenway, historic Annecy and the Alps

Camping Aloua’s location makes it a prime base for discovering the richness of Haute-Savoie. Lake Annecy, 250 metres away, is the great joy of the stay: supervised swimming at Sévrier, paddleboarding, sailing, jet-skiing, kayaking and pedalos can all be enjoyed everywhere around it. The greenway around the lake, directly accessible, lets you cycle to Annecy in 30 minutes while admiring exceptional scenery — one of the most beautiful cycling routes in Europe. Annecy, the “Venice of the Alps”, reveals its listed historic centre, its flower-lined canals, its Palais de l’Île and its hilltop castle: a real gem. For mountain lovers, the Semnoz, Mont Veyrier and La Tournette offer hikes with exceptional views over the lake. Talloires, a charming lakeside village, is worth half a day. Further afield, Switzerland and Geneva are 45 minutes away for a day trip. For children, the Marais de Saint-Jorioz and the water sports centres offer a wide range of activities. On site at the campsite, a multi-sports pitch, pétanque and table tennis tables keep sports fans busy.
