Description

The final stage of the GRP Littoral du Léman will take you to the finish town of Chens-sur-Léman. Departing from the medieval village of Yvoire, enjoy this beautiful finale, proud to have traversed the shores of Europe's largest alpine lake.
You'll pass through villages and localities on rural paths, mainly in woodland. The stage ends with the village of Chens-sur-Léman and its Château de Beauregard. Built in the 13th century by the County of Geneva, it was damaged by the Bernese in 1536, and again in 1792 during the French Revolution. Take advantage of the Tougues beach for a dip in Lake Geneva and round off your tour in style!
