Hint

Intro

On a tour of Geneva, you soon realize that the vibrant metropolis also offers wonderful locations in natural surroundings. Combined with the urban background, the attractive promenade alongside the lake, is the ideal place to take a stroll.

Description

The route leads along the west side of the lake, where you cross a bridge and can already gather the first impressions of this pulsating city. You continue towards the east side of the lake and soon discover Geneva's landmark, the Jet d’Eau. The fountain shoots 140 metres into the air and is visible from afar.

The Jet d’Eau, with the imposing Mont Blanc in the background and the Cathedral of Rive Droite in the foreground, provides a fantastic sight. Sailing yachts ply the waters of the lake and harbour. You can enjoy the hustle and bustle and the exceptional panoramic views, quite undisturbed, from the attractive, wide promenade.

Along the way there are a host of possibilities for refreshments or - just as you please - to simply stop at a quiet spot for a break. The elegant ambiance combined with the romantic lake setting imparts a care-free holiday feeling. Before you reach the destination at Geneva Plage, the route leads along a quieter stretch by the lake, where you can enjoy the magnificent views to the full.

An enjoyable tour includes the careful planning of the same. Please inform yourself in advance at the local information center about the route and weather conditions. Depending on the season and weather conditions, this route may be blocked or interrupted
