Quick ride by bicycle from Cranves-Sales to Annemasse

A short, smile-inducing roll from hillside Cranves-Sales down to Annemasse. It’s about 5 km and mostly downhill, so you’ll be coasting more than climbing. The route strings together cycleways and quiet streets on smooth tarmac, with a brief stretch through pedestrian areas as you approach the center—take it easy around shoppers.

On clear days leaving Cranves-Sales, look back for big views toward the Salève and, if you’re lucky, the distant Alps. Annemasse greets you with a lively, cross-border vibe right next to Geneva. If you finish near the station, you’re at the hub of the Léman Express rail network and the tram link toward Geneva, handy for multi-modal trips.

Fancy a quick pause? Parc Montessuit is a green breather close to town, and cafés around the center make an easy post-ride stop. Smooth surfaces and the net 100 m drop make this route beginner- and city-bike friendly—just keep an eye out in the pedestrian zones.
