Selected alternatives for you
The "Rhone Route" is the name of the VéloRoute that crosses Switzerland along the river of the same name. Together with its French equivalent, the "ViaRhôna", they form EuroVélo 17, a magnificent route that links the imposing mountains of the Swiss Alps to the gentle shores of the Mediterranean.
The Rhône Route first crosses the Valais, the sunniest region of Switzerland, with its mountains and pastures. Then you reach the castles of Sion and the vineyards and orchards of the lower Rhone valley. The Route then makes a large arc on the shores of Lake Geneva, via the picturesque terraced vineyards of Lavaux, listed as a World Heritage Site, joining in particular the towns of Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva.
This route is about 350km long, and if the sections are adaptable according to your desires and capacities, we present it here in 8 stages.
