✨ AI-Enhanced Insights
Annecy Meythet Airport (Aéroport d'Annecy Haute-Savoie Mont-Blanc) is a general and business aviation airport located about 3 km west of Annecy in the French Alps. Opened in the 1930s, it sits between Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains, with a single paved runway and a role in flight training, parachuting, and alpine tourism. It has no regular scheduled airline service, so most commercial passengers use Geneva, Lyon, or Chambéry instead.
💡 Local Tip
If you're flying in, request the scenic visual approach over Lake Annecy when traffic and ATC permit, but respect noise-abatement rules and mountain-wind conditions—summer afternoons can bring strong thermals and density-altitude effects.
🚖 Getting There
By car, the airport is a short drive from Annecy via the D1201/D1508; taxis and ride-hailing are the most reliable options, though supply can be thin at peak times. SIBRA city buses connect Meythet with Annecy, but check current routes and schedules because service to the airport stop may be limited. For onward travel to Geneva or Lyon airports, allow 45–90 minutes by road depending on traffic.
