Itinerary:

 

Day 1: Geneva to Yvoire or Anthy-sur-Léman (57 km or 35.4 miles)
After leaving Geneva and passing the Château de Coppet, our route then continues on small roads in the general direction of Nyon, passing through rural villages (Founex, Bossey, Céligny--which was Richard Burtons home in the last few years of his life) before arriving at the small village of Signy where a stop at the Domaine du Capitole and its museum is recommended. You will board the ferry in the town of Rolle. Your destination is thebeautiful medieval village of Yvoire across the Lake. You will overnight in Yvoire or nearby in the village of Anthy.

   

Day 2: Loop day around Yvoire or Anthy (various options (two options: 60 or 75 km - 38 or 47 miles)
Surrounded by the exceptionally beautiful and soothing landscape of this part of France, you may just choose to relax and take advantage of your hotel’s swimming pool. You may also decide to ride and choose one of our two optional loops.  Both will take you in the Lower Chablais region on quiet roads that are sure to take your breath away!  the Lake, the Alpine peaks, the Jura mountains... Beauty is all around!  Both loops will take you to the scenic “Gorges of the Devil’s Bridge” before freewheeling back to your hotel.

   
Day 3: Anthy-sur-Léman or Yvoire - Geneva (35 km or 22 miles)
Greet the day with a substantial breakfast and get those legs warmed up as your pedals take you to the ports of Séchex and Sciez, before continuing on to Massongy and climbing to the village of Ballaison, which has an impressive position overlooking the entire expanse of the lake.

After admiring the view and filling up your memory card, you set out again and wind your way through the vineyards of Crépy. The route guides you to the peaceful village of Loisin, from which you will traverse the Bois d'Avuilly, and meander through the pretty Swiss countryside to the town of Gy, with its neo-classic town hall and intriguing chateau on the hill. Gravity will then take you back to Geneva
