Retour des Alpages Annecy: Guide to the Transhumance Festival

Each autumn, Annecy celebrates the return of its livestock from high mountain pastures with the Retour des Alpages, a festival that mixes folk traditions, craft displays, and a colorful parade of decorated herds. Held since 1973, the event is free to attend, but planning ahead is key: arrive early, use public transport, and check official sources for the day's exact program and parade route.
