Departure from Nernier (Haute-Savoie)
A public footpath along the lake shore, the Léman footpath winds its way between beaches, reed beds, boat launches and small ports on one side and summer villas on the other, offering beautiful lake views and the chance to discover these dream homes. It can also be done in the opposite direction (from the Port of Tougues). Please note some guidelines for proper use in the practical information section.

Departure from Bernex (Haute-Savoie)
After a climb through the forest to wake up our muscles, we leave the mountain pastures of the Bas-Chablais Pre-Alps behind us. The route runs alongside several lakes and offers panoramic views stretching from the Jura mountains to the Mont Blanc massif before plunging down below the Cornettes de Bise.
