LE TOUR DU LEMAN
This famous circuit around Lake Geneva constitutes around a 200km loop. On the Swiss side you will visit Geneva, Nyon, Lausanne and Morges. You will definitely appreciate the docks of Montreux with its stunning alpine peaks in background. On the French side, Evian-les-Bains will surely be worth having a look! Shortly after, Thonon-les-Bains with its harbour, its city centre and the Ripaille' castle is the perfect stopover town for a little rest. Afterwards? Some jewels of the lake: Yvoire, Nernier et Excenevex - be sure to drop by those medieval villages.
- The trail of bas-Chablais, with its length of 50 km and 100m of elevation, will be worth the sweat due to the landscapes you will discover. Passing from beaches to the country-side, take this chance to discover the region and plan your trip with: https://www.savoie-mont-blanc.com/offre/fiche/31-circuit-du-bas-chablais/74757.
- The tour of Hermones going through the pass of Terramont and the pass of the Moises is a formidable challenge. A breath-taking view over the lake is waiting for you at the top. Once you overcame the passes, go downhill until you reach Thonon-les-Bains. More information on: https://www.savoie-mont-blanc.com/offre/fiche/29-tour-du-mont-d-hermone/74746
THE VALLÉE VERTE BIKE TOUR
If you are visiting us at the end of August the “Vallée Verte Bike Tour“ event might be something worth looking at. It offers routes for all levels of experience, from 13km to 70km. With family, friends or alone, never back up from a challenge. With mountain bike, electric bike or even as a hiker, you can challenge yourself! Along the footpath, in the alpine meadows and in remote villages, you will enjoy the landscape at your own pace. Plan on joining? Visit: https://www.valleevertebiketour.com/
As a last suggestion, climb to the castles of Allinges. Up there an old and a new castle are sharing the hill, reigning and facing the lake. Accessible by bike from our hotel.
