AI AgentFrequently asked questions
What is the elevation of Annecy in feet and metres?
Annecy is at 455 m, or 1,491 ft, above sea level, read at a point within 200 m of its centre whose height is the median of the area. Within 5 km of the centre the ground runs from 395 m to 1,271 m.
Is Annecy at high altitude?
No. At 455 m (1,491 ft), Annecy is below 1,500 m (4,900 ft), where altitude has little effect on most people.
What is the highest point near Annecy?
Within 5 km of the centre, the highest ground is 1,271 m (4,169 ft) at 45.89757, 6.18702. The lowest is 395 m (1,294 ft) at 45.90566, 6.06308.
How is the elevation of Annecy measured?
From the Copernicus DEM, a 30 m elevation model made from satellite radar between 2011 and 2015. It includes roofs and trees, so the figure is read at the point whose height is the median of 81 points within 200 m of the centre, rather than at one point that may fall on a building.
