SIBRA operates Annecy's 23 bus lines plus the cross-lake B+ network. Small dogs in carriers travel free; medium and large dogs need a half-fare ticket (1 €) and must be on a short leash.
💡 The B line runs from the Gare to the Pâquier and the Pont des Amours every 8 minutes, useful as a shortcut from the rail station with luggage and a dog.
SNCF TER operates regional trains from Annecy to Lyon (1h45), Geneva (40 min), Chamonix (2h, change at La-Roche-sur-Foron) and Aix-les-Bains (35 min). Dogs travel for half the second-class fare; assistance dogs free.
💡 The Annecy-Geneva TER takes 40 min and runs every hour, the fastest dog-friendly link to Geneva Airport (40 min total) for international flights.
Lake-Annecy boat services from the Quai du Thiou, scheduled crossings to Talloires, Veyrier-du-Lac, Sevrier and Doussard, plus 1h30 sightseeing cruises. Leashed dogs accepted free of charge on outdoor decks.
💡 The 1h30 sightseeing cruise is the perfect dog-friendly Annecy day if the weather is too hot for the Semnoz, outdoor deck shaded.
