We enjoyed the steady climb to the summit and the amazing views from the top. The descent all the way back to Annecy was fun too!

A must go if you love a good view. We took a taxi up to the top, wish we could have stayed longer. Great spot for picnic and champagne in summer.

We took bus number S2 which is right outside Annecy Gare/Station.

One hour journey by bus and it was full of snow.We enjoyed above and there were lots of other families enjoying their Skiing.

Remember to cover up well with snow boots and hand gloves.

Clean toilets available.

Go here on a clear day as the views are amazing, you can see right across to Mont Blanc. Alpine pastures, cows with bells, flowers, chalets and pine trees. Plenty of parking space and good tracks to walk around the summit plateau.

A very short drive from Annecy, and you are up high facing the Mont Blanc, gorgeous views, lots of animals and easy walks with kids.

We recently visited here after reading the recommendations on Trip Advisor but were a little disappointed. Whilst the views were wonderful there was not an awful lot to do at the top. I would recommend the trail walk up to Col de la Forclaz instead. This is a beautiful walk which culminates in a pretty little town with the most stunning views.

We came there in November and in Semnoz snow had fallen at that time.
The view on the road from Annecy going up is amazing and in same time the view from top of Semnoz is another amazing one as well.
Definitely it is a worth place to travel if you are in the Annecy.
However be careful when snow fall down because the road going up there can be slippery and dangerous.

While many ski resorts can be ritzy and expensive, Semnoz is down-to-earth and affordable, with amazing views, good gear rental and regular bus service from Annecy, and perfect for beginners. The walking, Alpine ski and Nordic ski trails are very well-marked, and the reception lodges for each offer free lockers, a rest area to have your packed lunch and clean bathrooms. Lots of kids and families, and a relaxed vibe. There aren't a ton of restaurants and cafes the way you would find in more glamorous resorts, but it has its own charm. I was a first-timer, both to Le Semnoz and to Nordic ski and snowshoe, and I found it very easy to adjust.

We went there just to take a look at Alphs. Perfect location to see the mountains (also Mont-Blanc).
