Our cycling tips in and around Geneva
Where we love to ride
In 10 to 15 minutes you can be out of the city and heading up to the mighty Salève mountain which dominates the Geneva landscape to the South. There are 5 ways up to the top of the Salève, some of which are really quite challenging but on average you will get some 1000 mt of climbing.
The North side from Collonge sous Salève is definitely the most challenging with some section at 12%.
The Eastern route via Monettier is only marginally easier! At the top you will be rewarded with fantastic views over Mont Bland to the South and both lake Geneva and lake Annecy.
If you head a bit further out from Geneva you can tackle some of the most amazing cols that have featured in many Tour de France battles. The infamous category 1 Colombière come to mind as well as of course the really hard col de Joux Plane.
If you are looking for hipster cocktail bars head into the Eaux Vives district and specifically to the rue Henri Blanvalet, where you will find two of the very best cocktail bars we have ever tried. On one side of the street you have the Comptoir des Cocktails and a little further on there is Bottle Brothers . Both are worth a try but at Bottle Brothers the food is also excellent. If you want a more traditional bar pub scene you can head up into the Old town to Place Bourg de Four, where on a warm day tables are laid out at a couple of the local bard and the beers are cold!
We have two favourite partner hotels in Geneva:
The Tiffany Hotel – https://www.tiffanyhotel.ch/en/
a 4 star boutique hotel in the heart of the banking district and at the foot of the old town offer the timeless appeal of Art Nouveau style with a contemporary twist.
The Eastwest Hotel – https://www.eastwesthotel.ch/en/
also a 4 star boutique hotel in the Paquis district close to the station and the lake front. The Eastwest is part of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and is in a class of its own. A very cool fusion of East and West !
Why Geneva is such a popular cycling destination ?
Geneva is of course an international and cosmopolitan town but from a cycling perspective it is the gateway to the Alps and some of the most legendary cycling routes.
We argue that Geneva makes for a really good base for a cycling holiday or training camp. You can fly in rent one of our top end bikes and spend a long weekend tacking some really good cycling terrain.
In 10 to 15 minutes you can be out of the city and heading up to the mighty Salève mountain which dominates the Geneva landscape to the South. There are 5 ways up to the top of the Salève, some of which are really quite challenging but on average you will get some 1000 mt of climbing.

Geneva is our home base so we will always be happy to provide you with help and directions on our favourite cycling routes.
