Rhône River Route: Oberwald to Geneva

Overview

Cycle among scenic landscapes and visit cultural sites as your travel along the Rhone River. Between Oberwald and Geneva, the Rhone-Route connects three completely different types of landscapes. In the Goms, the landscape is alpine and the route consists mostly of downhill rides with an occasional rise. In Brig, the Rhone valley widens - there is more sunshine here in Wallis than anywhere in Switzerland! You'll experience another change of scenery entering into Villeneuve. With the wide, light flooded area of the Lake of Geneva on one side and the wine hills with sounding names on the other side of the route, you will cycle on through this beauty towards the city of Geneva. The Rhone-Route offers scenic and cultural variety with a flat route profile, making it perfect for casual cyclists as well. Daily Program: Day 1: Arrival at Obergesteln.
