This nice walk offers beautiful views of the lake and Switzerland from the city center. From the Belvedere to the castle of Ripaille, many panoramas are to be discovered all along the quays.
From the parking of the municipal beach, walk along the quays of Thonon to enjoy the lake shore, until you reach the fishermen's port and the hamlet of Rives. Don't forget to take advantage of the playground and the terraces and kiosks of the port! Variation from the Tourist Office: Start the walk at the Belvedere then take the funicular (1.10 € one way / 2 € return) - Lift available to avoid the few steps to reach the quays of Thonon. On arrival, cross the paved road to reach the lakefront until you reach the entrance of the municipal beach. You can go past the swimming pool along the bike path to admire the Château de Ripaille. For the return, go the other way around.
