Aix-les-Bains' two essential outings both center on Lac du Bourget: the lakefront promenade at the Petit Port, and a boat trip across the water to the Abbaye de Hautecombe, one of Savoie's grandest religious sites.
The lakefront esplanade running to the Petit Port at its southern end is Aix-les-Bains' default dog walk, a level path with lake views, beach bars and restaurant terraces the whole way along. It links directly to the Grand Port and the boat departure point for Hautecombe Abbey.
A cruise across Lac du Bourget from the Grand Port reaches the Abbaye de Hautecombe, a Cistercian abbey and burial site of the House of Savoy on the lake's far shore. Dogs are accepted on board leashed for a small supplement, though they must wait outside while you visit the church itself.
