Clear view of Lake Geneva, imbued with poetry and history engraved in the rock of this pier. Crossing the village with its cobbled pedestrian streets does not leave you indifferent and leads to the shores of the lake.

The square stone is of different composition, it has its origin in the mountains of Valais in Switzerland. The inhabitants of Yvoire have a habit of saying that people who have set foot on the stone of Equarre do not leave the village, and decide to settle there permanently 🙂

Up until that day I had no idea how many lovely, welcoming little towns there are on the way from Geneva to Lausanne. The paths are all easily accessible.

Let your gaze wander over the glittering water of Lake Geneva, enjoy the cozy atmosphere in the beautiful town of Nyon and treat yourself to a piece of cake in one of the cafés. What more do you need for a successful hiking break? Incidentally, the 320-kilometer Jura High Trail, which starts near Zurich, ends in Nyon.
