Itinerary

This morning begins with a boat ride to the little town of Yvoire on the French side of Lake Geneva. Picturesque harbours and charming villages await you as you ride back towards the Swiss border. Then, it’s in Cologny where you’ll catch your first glimpses of the Jet d’Eau, Geneva’s famous landmark. You can also look forward to seeing stately homes and well-kept public beaches just outside the city limits. A short ascent before you reach Prangins leads you over fields and past pretty villages.

Today begins with a bike ride to Nyon, followed by a short train journey to Geneva, where you can take some time to explore this world-renowned metropolis. Eventually, it’ll be time to press on and ride along the Jura mountain range, high above the shores of Lake Geneva, leaving the hustle and bustle of the big city behind you. The side roads you’ll be riding on are hardly used and magnificent views of the lake and the peaks of the Mont Blanc massif will open up before you.

Today begins with another bike ride to Nyon, followed by a train journey to St. Saphorin, a small winemaking village situated in the middle of Lavaux, the world-famous wine-growing region on the shores of Lake Geneva. This is followed by a scenic ascent through the vineyards and a descent towards the Olympic capital Lausanne and then through small market towns as you head back to Prangins.

Today involves a transfer to Le Pont in the Vallée de Joux. The clear and calm waters of this lake sparkle in the sun – this valley truly is one of the most beautiful in Switzerland! From Le Brassus, you then ascend to the Col du Marchairuz. Rocky dry stone walls and wooded pastures typify the landscape here. The magnificent views over Lake Geneva and a thrilling descent conclude your bike tour.

Tour character

There is a little more traffic in the centre of Geneva, but the rest of this tour takes place on quiet roads. There are some hillier sections in Lavaux and during the visit to the Vallée de Joux. Otherwise, this is an easy tour for culture vultures and for those who enjoy a more leisurely pace.
