The "Route du Rhône" is the name of the VéloRoute that runs through Switzerland along the river of the same name. Together with its French counterpart, the "ViaRhôna", they form EuroVélo 17, a magnificent itinerary linking the imposing mountains of the Swiss Alps to the gentle shores of the Mediterranean.
The Route du Rhône first crosses the Valais, Switzerland's sunniest region, with its mountains and pastures. The castles of Sion are next, followed by the vineyards and orchards of the lower Rhône valley. The route then makes a wide arc around the shores of Lake Geneva, via the picturesque terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a World Heritage site, to the towns of Montreux, Lausanne and Geneva.
This route is around 350km long, and while the sections can be adapted to suit your wishes and abilities, we present it here in 8 stages.

The Rhone Route - Stage 7: between Morges and Geneva
