Here are some scenic walking routes to help you explore the breathtaking countryside of Geneva on foot.
From lush vineyards to tranquil riversides and rolling hills, these itineraries offer a perfect way to immerse yourself in nature.
Pregny to ChambésyThis scenic walk takes you from the beautiful Jardin Botanique and Domaine de Penthes to the villages of Pregny and Chambésy.Thanks to the elevation of these villages, you will be delighted by the remarkable panoramic views over Lac Léman that are to be found along this route, as well as the deep, green hues of the fields you pass by and through.Stop by at the Ecrevisses nature reserve - a nice little discovery!
Russin to the Teppes de Verbois loop This interesting loop walk takes you from Russin train station to the Teppes de Verbois, a nature reserve of 45 hectares, which also comprises several ponds.The site was historically exploited for its gravel until its redevelopment in 2001, but now it is a haven for a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife.The walk is mostly flat, though towards the end, a short hill climb back to the village of Russin may require a little effort.
Veyrier to les Iles d'Arve (FR) and Bout-du-MondeThis wonderful walk along the Arve river briefly enters into France territory. Starting from the beautiful village of Veyrier, you traverse the Swiss/French border to Les Iles d'Arve nature reserve which lies alongside the Arve river. You continue towards and past the hamlet of Sierne before meeting up once again with the Arve and following it until you reach Bout-du-Monde sports centre.
Lancy to Perly along the River AireFrom the foothills of Mont Salève, the 11km river of the Aire traverses the town of Saint-Julien-en-Genevois in France, and the communes of Perly-Certoux, Onex, and Lancy in GenevaFor most of this walk, you stroll along the banks of the river - parts of which have been canalled, parts of which have retained its natural course, and other parts of which flow underground. It is therefore a walk which allows you to observe the changing nature of the river from the beginning of the walk until the end.
La Jonction to Loëx and BernexFrom city to countryside along the incredible river Rhône. Discover the hidden wonders of its riverbanks not long after starting your walk, then see where the river Rhône and river Arve meet at La Jonction. The contrasting colours of the waters are quite amazing!After crossing Pont Butin (Butin bridge), you will continue to follow the meanders of the enchanting river Rhône through Onex Forest and Chatillon Woods before arriving in Bernex where this walk ends.
