The foothills of the Alps define the setting of Cuvat — a small Haute-Savoie commune where open slopes and wooded ground rise above the Annecy basin. Set north of Annecy, it belongs to the historic region of Savoy, whose identity remains visible across the department in mountain farming, regional cooking and traditional architecture. Cuvat is a rural residential community rather than an urban centre, positioned between the countryside around Cruseilles and Annecy’s wider urban area. The nearby Bornes massif gives this part of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes a distinctly pre-Alpine character, while Lake Annecy lies to the south.
