Programme

Day 1
Discovery and setting off
35.2 km loop, 350 m ascent

Welcome and support at your hotel site (bike friendly) in Chavannes-de-Bogis

Check in and make available your personalized bicycle, if you have chosen the Thömus experience during your trip.

Begin with a small start over Lake Geneva. This loop will take you to the hillside. You will ride in landscape mode with the foot of the Jura on your left and the lake on your right. Many viewing points will allow you to admire the Alps on the other side of Lake Geneva.
Day 2
The longest stage while climbing
35.2 km link, 1150 m ascent

A transition from the shores of the lake to the pastures of the Vallée de Joux.

This steady, gentle uphill stage will guide you through the forest and pastures marked by dry stone walls. You will take small, asphalted, but narrow farm roads. You will move between herds of cows who will watch you from far, in an enclosed space, pass with indifference.

Then, suddenly, at the end of a straight line, the Vallée de Joux will appear to you like a postcard. Close, yours is only a few strokes away.
Day 3
A long downhill to the lake
34.2 km loop, 553 m uphill 1159 m down

An unforgettable panorama during a long downhill to the lake.

From the Sentier, you will start with a climb up to the Marchairuz pass. Once you have made the effort, you will freewheel along the Jura to the banks of Lake Geneva. Many stops are recommended along the route to immortalize some of the most exceptional views.

You will see the lake in perspective with a single glance before you can touch it. What a contrast to the morning scenery!
Day 4
The tour of the vineyards
20.1 km loop, 370 m ascent

A last short loop to stroll over the vineyards of the Côte region.

To end your stay in style, a short getaway in the vineyards of western Vaudois is a must. After a short climb at the edge of the forest, you will walk over the vineyards with Lake Geneva below and the Alps as a backdrop. You will return by taking the main road already used by the Romans in another time.

Check out hotel, return of the bicycle if you have opted for the rental service.

Transfer according to the module chosen for your trip.
