盆地の湖・トップ19

Bikepacking trip with a night bivouac on the shores of Lac des Rousses, beach side. Very windy at night, so wrap up warm. Otherwise, a magnificent lake with few people (early August).

A very nice border village to relax in after a bike ride (from Geneva in our case). We spent the afternoon and a night camping near the lake. Shops nearby for supplies 👍

It is beautiful here

If you like documentary films Vision Du Réel is worth the time.

On the shores of Lake Geneva, the town of Nyon stands out for its views of the vast expanse of water, with the Chablais Alpine massif as a backdrop. It is particularly known for its beautiful castle which today houses the historical and porcelain museum.

It is a typical Jura village. It benefits from a lot of sporting and cultural activities. It is the starting point for many hikes. It is located on the route of the Grande Traversée du Jura or GTJ (https://www.gtj.asso.fr/). To be discovered in all seasons, whether on foot, by bike, by mountain bike, by snowshoes or by ski.

A glacial overflow, this lake is surrounded by bogs. It freezes in winter, which makes it possible to go ice skating!

Up until that day I had no idea how many lovely, welcoming little towns there are on the way from Geneva to Lausanne. The paths are all easily accessible.
