Chamonix → Évian

The ride begins in Chamonix, with Mont Blanc overhead and a weather-dependent start on June 30 or July 1. From there, the route moves through Samoëns, with room for a night in town or an alpine option at Bostan.

The next stretch descends toward Évian, on the lake.

Across the lake

A short ferry crossing from Évian to Lausanne— an easy transition from the mountains to the lakefront.

Lausanne → Lavaux

From Lausanne, the pace slows through the Lavaux vineyard terraces— lake views, stone walls, and time to taste along the way.

From Lavaux, Montreux is an easy continuation when the day is ready to move on.

Montreux

Montreux delivers a lakefront finish, with evenings timed around the 60th anniversary of the Montreux Jazz Festival and plenty of open venues to explore.
