Best Time to Visit
The Annecy – Haute-Savoie – Mont Blanc Airport was constructed in January 1946 as commissioned by the Americans, but its runway and control tower was not built until January 1972. The following year, the airport officially opened its gates to commercial operation, which was primarily served by AIR ALPES. However, in July 2013, the airport’s operations were suspended, transforming the airfield to a site of business and leisure aviation. Among the businesses based on the airport are two companies, six pilot training and aircraft maintenance schools, and a restaurant. You can explore the towns of Russin, Tannay, and Ochiaz from NCY.
