| Itinerary | ||||||||||
| Day 1: Arrive in Geneva. Transfer to your hotel. Loop ride (approx. 70 km or 44 miles) You will be greeted at the airport by a Cyclomundo representative and transferred to your hotel. Based on your requirements, we can accommodate you in Geneva (should you wish to stay in a “city environment”) or in Cruseilles (in a countryside setting). In either case, we will provide you with a loop that will take you up our local mountain (Mont Salève) the “easy way” (from Cruseilles or Annemasse depending of your place of stay). Needless to say the views from the top are breathtaking. |
||||||||||
| Day 2: Cruseilles
(or Geneva) – Le Grand Bornand (Long option: 115 km or 72 miles;
short option without Col de la Croix-Fry: 100 km or 60 miles) Our route will take you around the visually stunning Annecy Lake and over two “classic” climbs: Col de la Forclaz and Col de la Croix-Fry. You will lodge in the pretty village of Le Grand Bornand. Please note that if you choose to stay in Geneva, we recommend you take a morning train (trains are equipped with special areas for bikes) and start your ride from La Roche-sur-Foron. |
||||||||||
| Day 3: Le
Grand Bornand – Mieussy (Long option: 108 km or 67 miles: short
option: 100 km without Col de l’Encrenaz and Col de la Ramaz) Another day of rewarding climbs. Stay aerobic and save some breath for the views! From Le Grand Bornand, you will climb the classic Col de la Colombière (the easy side!). From Cluses on the Arve valley floor, your ride will take you up to Les Gets via Col de Joux Plane before reaching Morzine. Although our short option allows you to freewheel to your destination, we highly recommend our long option which will take by Mont-Chéry before riding down to Mieussy, your day’s destination. Did we forget to mention the long option’s fun climbs? Col de l’Encrenaz (1,433 m) and Col de la Ramaz (1,559). |
||||||||||
| Day 4: Mieussy – Anthy (76 km or 47 miles) The area known as “Le Chablais” will be your day’s playground with Lake Geneva as a backdrop! Easier climbs will take you from one valley to the next before heading towards Lake Geneva. The last few miles will take place along the Lake all the way to your hotel, a few steps from the Lake’s shore. |
||||||||||
| Day 5: Anthy - Anthy. Departure (various loops) Your day’s loop will take place across the Lake. Your day trip will start with a short ride to the listed medieval village of Yvoire where you will board a ferry to Nyon. From there, we will provide you with a variety of loops of various distances. All will take you on very scenic roads though Switzerland. The longest ones will take you to the Upper Jura region via Col de la Faucille, Col de la Givrine, or Col du Marchairuz. Arrangements will be made so that you can return to your hotel and change before the short hop to the airport. |
