Duingt can be described through its lakeshore, historical traces, and paths through the village and countryside. Mont Taillefer offers two viewpoints over the waters of the large and small basins of Lake Annecy. The first viewpoint on Taillefer can be reached after a 15-minute walk at the Grotte Notre-Dame du Lac.

For some, personal trip planning includes the wish to rent a holiday apartment in Duingt.

Nature and lake

Duingt’s municipal beach is a grassy, partly shaded lakeside beach opposite Châteauvieux. Toilets and refreshments are available on site. A cycle path runs near this municipal beach.

The circular hiking route on Taillefer starts in Duingt and leads to the former Bredannaz quarry and its elevated viewpoint.

Culture and history

The remains of prehistoric pile dwellings’ posts have been preserved on Roselet Island. Châteauvieux was built on an island around the 11th or 12th century and is closed to the public.

The narrow streets of Duingt’s old village lead to a viewpoint at the Grotte Notre-Dame du Lac. Héré Château is a Renaissance-era château visible on the ascent to Entrevernes.
