In a few words

Three lakes, two countries, and the Alps as your backdrop: embark on a 4-day cycling trip between Annecy and Geneva, discovering the lakes of Annecy, Bourget, and Léman. From the "Venice of the Alps," the greenways will lead you between turquoise waters, Alpine peaks, and the vineyards of Savoy.

Along the ViaRhôna, discover a Savoie full of character: medieval heritage in Conflans, thermal break in Aix-les-Bains and wild landscapes along the Rhône punctuate this 230 km adventure.

Then it's off to Switzerland and Lake Geneva! Geneva and its famous Jet d'Eau mark the arrival of this Tour des 3 Lacs, a beautiful escape combining cycle touring in the Alps, Savoyard heritage, great lakes and Franco-Swiss culture.

With our one-way service, your journey always moves in the same direction: pick up your bike at the start, leave it at the finish and fully enjoy the ride, without having to backtrack.

  • The 3 pearls of the Alps: Annecy, Le Bourget and Lake Geneva combined in a single journey
  • Travel through the vineyards of Savoy and discover the Savoyard heritage

This route, without any technical difficulties, offers breathtaking views of the Aravis mountain range. Cycling towards Ugine, then Albertville, you enter the heart of the Alpine valleys.
