From Geneva to Lyon
The seven days of the cycle tour between Geneva and Lyon all have one thing in common: the Rhône! France’s water-richest river accompanies you every day, and even if when you swap it for sleepy towns and sunflower fields, it will get your attention again in the following stage. First in Switzerland, and then further on in France, you cover 265 kilometres of the Rhône cycle path, which is 880 kilometres long in total. When you arrive in Lyon and the scent of French cuisine fills the streets, you can look back on an eventful cycling holiday.
Between the ‘smallest metropolis in the world’ Geneva and the gourmet capital of Lyon are seven days of cycling and numerous moments of happiness. Everyone finds their own way: some customers appreciate the pretty villages and towns of Campagneux or Meximieux. Others are fascinated by the varied nature, which presents itself at its most beautiful on the Rhône. The steep vineyards are an impressive sight! Check out the Rhône Cycle Path!
On day 1 and day 3 there are a few longer ascents to be tackled. On all other stages the terrain is nearly flat throughout and easy to cycle on. Except for a few interruptions, the Rhône-cycle path is well constructed and it is a perfect example for signposting and routing.
