La Vaux wine growing

Between Lake Geneva and the surrounding hills, you’ll encounter a world of contrasts: shimmering waters, wide-open views, lively cities, and tranquil valleys. A ride through the Vallée de Joux, ending with its sweeping descent toward the lake, is a true scenic highlight—just like exploring the vineyards of Lavaux. Each stage takes you through charming towns and unspoiled landscapes, blending nature, culture, and authentic enjoyment in perfect harmony.

itinerary at a glance

Experience the diversity surrounding Lake Geneva: picturesque harbors, charming villages, the cosmopolitan flair of Geneva, and the renowned Lavaux wine region. A standout highlight awaits in the Vallée de Joux, with its tranquil lakes, alpine passes, and sweeping panoramic views.

This delightful town greets you with historic character and breathtaking views over the lake. A leisurely stroll through its narrow streets or a visit to the castle provides the perfect start to your journey

In the morning, a scenic boat ride from nearby Nyon brings you to the French town of Yvoire, where its medieval charm enchants at first sight. From there, you’ll cycle along the lake, passing quaint harbors and villages, until the famous Jet d’Eau in Geneva comes into view for the first time in Cologny. After taking in the vibrant city, peaceful paths guide you past elegant villas, lakeside beaches, and serene villages on your return to Prangins

You’ll ride to Nyon, where a short train journey whisks you into the heart of Geneva. You’ll explore the cosmopolitan city and its landmarks before escaping the hustle and bustle. From there, you’ll follow peaceful country roads through the Jura Mountains, perched high above Lake Geneva, with breathtaking views stretching all the way to Mont Blanc.

You’ll cycle from Prangins to Nyon and take the train to the idyllic village of St. Saphorin, nestled in the heart of Lavaux, the world-famous wine region along Lake Geneva’s shores. You’ll enjoy a scenic climb through the vineyards before descending toward Lausanne. You’ll pass the Olympic city and charming market towns on your return to Prangins.

The day begins with a transfer to Le Pont in the Vallée de Joux. The dark waters of the lake shimmer in the sunlight, and this valley stands out as one of Switzerland’s most breathtaking. You’ll set off from Le Brassus, following a steady climb to the Col du Marchairuz, where rugged dry-stone walls and open pastures shape the landscape. A sweeping view over Lake Geneva and an exhilarating descent bring your cycling adventure to a spectacular close.
