Saint-Gingolph / Thonon / Evian
Bike route of 30.10 km from Saint-Gingolph to Thonon (Note: route on departmental roads)
On the shores of Lake Geneva, straddling the Franco-Swiss border, Saint-Gingolph marks the official start of the ViaRhôna route. The spa towns of Evian-les-Bains and Thonon-les-Bains will be highlights where it is pleasant to stroll and rest along the quays in the immediate vicinity of Lake Geneva.
Warning : this route uses a busy departmental road and is therefore primarily intended for experienced cyclists. For families with children, we strongly recommend starting your ViaRhôna adventure from Thonon-les-Bains or Geneva.

Thonon / Geneva
After Thonon-les-Bains, the ViaRhôna cycle route leads you along a mix of cycle tracks and quiet roads, through villages in the Bas-Chablais area. Don’t miss the stunning medieval villages of Yvoire and Nernier right by Lake Geneva. There are numerous other short detours to make to little ports and beaches, great for a dip. Reaching Chens-sur-Léman, while awaiting the continuation of the ViaRhôna cycle route further west into France, we suggest you carry on along the signposted cycle route into Switzerland leading you as far as Geneva.
