Sources du lac d’Annecy: a brand to promote the territory
On Wednesday, January 11, the Office de tourisme des Sources du lac d’Annecy launched its territory brand in Faverges. A way to better promote the territory, while involving more local producers and craftsmen.
Improve the influence of the territory thanks to the brand
The main objective of the brand of the Sources du lac d’Annecy is to accentuate the tourist promotion of the territory, while giving a real identity to the destination. Another idea put forward is to reinforce the notoriety of the Tourist Office.
Today, the tourism of proximity became the priority of the Sources of the lake of Annecy. It is an essential lever to ensure a more balanced distribution of tourist traffic during the year. And to attract more local people, three points of action are put forward:
- The promotion of the destination
- Improving the customer experience
- The development of the brand
Local producers and craftsmen, involved in the approach
If the Sources du lac d’Annecy brand was created, it is also thanks to the producers and craftsmen who agreed to get involved in the process. Proud ambassadors of their territory, they decided to play the game. A way, for them, to gain also in visibility.
For the moment, four products are part of the brand:
- Alchimie’s verbena beers, available in spring
Contact 04.50.51.87.62 - The soaps of the sportsman of Malabulle Soaps
Contact 06.29.47.77.01 - The jams of l’Atelier Rebond
Contact 06.42.20.60.81 - The cheeses of the GAEC des Délices Savoyards
Contact 04.50.44.51.16
For Margot, one of the partners of Atelier Rebond, integrating the brand of the Sources du lac d’Annecy was a natural step. The company, which is a structure of Insertion by the Economic Activity (IAE), was established just one year ago in Faverges. And the concept is simple: to propose jams, pickles and sauces made from “fruigumes” these fruits and vegetables recovered among the unsold goods of supermarkets.

La Sambuy, a 4-season resort
Lake Annecy springs also rhyme with La Sambuy. If it is possible to ski during the snowiest winters, the resort is also multi-activity and 4 seasons. With no snowmaking facilities, La Sambuy has had to reinvent itself in recent years.
A successful gamble since the resort’s summer turnover is higher than its winter turnover.
Here are some ideas for activities to do this winter in La Sambuy :
The 4 seasons sled. An activity to discover with your family during the school vacations.
How we prepare you for downhill skiing at La Sambuy. An activity which will allow you to discover how the actors of the station prepare it for your coming.
Walking or snowshoeing. A 2,5 km itinerary is proposed to you in the heart of the forest.
