Tour of Lake Geneva

Within 10 minutes you will be cycling out of the Geneva hustle and bustle to join a long cycle path that winds its way between the bucolic countryside and the lake front. This first stage will offer you magnificent views over the lake all the way South to Mt Blanc and North to the Jura mountains. At just 15 km from Lausanne, Morges, your destination for the day is one of the prettiest lake front towns. Famous for its lakeside promenade and is picturesque old town, with its quaint boutiques and art galleries, it is a great place to spend the night and enjoy Lake Geneva.
