Excursion à vélo d’une journée de Lausanne à Genève

Ready for a scenic ride from Lausanne to Geneva? This route covers about 83 kilometers, weaving along the north shore of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), with plenty of views and a good mix of quiet roads and gentle climbs. You’ll roll through charming lakeside towns like Morges, Rolle, and Nyon—perfect spots to grab a coffee, snap photos, or dip your toes in the lake.

Most of the ride is on paved surfaces, so a road or touring bike is ideal. Expect a mix of gentle ascents and descents (just over 660 meters up and 700 down), but nothing too punishing. Lausanne, your starting point, is known for its Olympic Museum and lively old town, while Geneva awaits at the end with its iconic Jet d'Eau and multicultural vibes.

Traffic is generally light, especially if you stick to the quieter roads. You’ll pass through vineyards, pastures, and plenty of places to admire the Alps in the distance. Take it easy, pack snacks, and enjoy cruising from one beautiful Swiss city to another!
