Overview

This unique bicycle tour makes it possible for leisure riders to experience the captivating cycling of the Alps without the hill hassle. Linking the three major lakes of the area - Lake Geneva, Lake Bourget, and Lake Annecy - the cycling routes essentially follow the paths of the Rhône and Isère rivers, taking in historic villages, stunning natural scenery, lush meadows, valleys, and picturesque peaks along the way. Pack your swimsuit in case you can’t resist the call of the lake - or all three lakes! A refreshing swim is the best way to cool off after a day of biking.
