Promenade du Lac Léman
Introduction
On a tour of Geneva, you soon realize that the vibrant metropolis also offers wonderful locations in natural surroundings. Combined with the urban background, the attractive promenade alongside the lake, is the ideal place to take a stroll.
The route leads along the west side of the lake, where you cross a bridge and can already gather the first impressions of this pulsating city. You continue towards the east side of the lake and soon discover Geneva’s landmark, the Jet d’Eau. The fountain shoots 140 metres into the air and is visible from afar.
This walk is about 3km in length and you should allow about 45 minutes of actual walking time.
