Cycling day trip from Geneva to Versonnex

Looking for a rewarding ride with a nice mix of scenery? Set off from Geneva, the cosmopolitan city famous for its lake, the Jet d’Eau, and a vibrant café culture. This route traces about 57 km south into France, finishing in the charming village of Versonnex.

The ride itself is a real adventure: you’ll climb over 1200 meters, so get ready for some lung-busting hills and sweeping descents. The terrain is mostly quiet country roads, with a good variety of paved and a bit of unpaved surfaces—so a gravel or sturdy road bike is your best bet. Along the way, enjoy views of rural pastures, small villages, and—if the weather’s clear—impressive mountain backdrops.

Versonnex is a peaceful spot where French countryside vibes are strong and life moves a little slower. Perfect for unwinding at the finish! Make sure to pack snacks and plenty of water, as services can be sparse on some stretches. This route is great for cyclists craving a scenic challenge away from the crowds.
