Gravel biking vacation in Switzerland

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

This carbon-free gravel biking adventure showcases how beautifully nature is preserved just a few pedal strokes from one of Europe's most densely populated areas. Riding on small back roads and forest trails away from traffic, you'll experience the rural countryside of the Lake Geneva region while minimizing your environmental impact.

We recommend travel by train to reach Geneva, a much more eco-friendly solution than flying or driving. Geneva is exceptionally well-connected by rail to major European cities, and the main train station is just a 5-minute walk from your hotel. Within the region, you'll cross Lake Geneva by ferry — a low-impact, scenic way to travel. In Geneva, we recommend using public transportation, walking, or biking. Geneva offers excellent public transport and bike-sharing systems that make it easy to explore sustainably.

Vegetarian meals available.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

The route takes you through protected areas like the Domaine de Guidou nature reserve, demonstrating the delicate balance between human activity and environmental preservation.

LOCAL ECONOMY

We are based in France. This is where we live and work. Our office is located in the French Alps, just a stone's throw from the Swiss border, and we ride the very same roads we recommend to you for your cycling vacations. As firm believers of sustainable development, we have established a friendly network of professionals, comprised mainly of local tour guides, small operators, and family-run agencies. Most of our people have created their own jobs/enterprises in order to live their passion for the region and cultural heritage. All have extensive travel experience and have lived in various places before falling in love with the area they now call home.

Relying on local guides and family-owned hotels, you will be ensured a warm, personalized welcome. All properties are run by people who have a passion for their region and its cultural, gastronomic, and historical heritage. We use genuine places with local charm, blending harmoniously into the environment. Our hotels offer guests a pleasant, nice-sized environment. Some of them have as few as two rooms, while others are small human-sized hotels.

Traveling with us guarantees that you will be taken care of by caring professionals who chose to build their lives here. Forget the non-descript and indistinguishable big chain hotels; we use genuine places with local charm. All the properties we use are run by people who have a passion for their region and its cultural, gastronomic, and historical heritage.
