Spectacular Route
15 March to 30 October
Set off from the peaceful beach of Allaman on a kayaking excursion along the Vaud shores of Lake Geneva, where nature, heritage and vineyards come together.
As you paddle, you will follow the shoreline and pass through charming lakeside villages. In Perroy, you may catch sight of the Venoge, one of the lake’s iconic boats. You will then reach Rolle, with its picturesque castle and the Île de la Harpe, a scene worthy of a postcard.
Further along, nature takes centre stage near Gland, where forests and green spaces stretch between the houses. As you approach Nyon, the majestic Villa Napoléon, surrounded by its extensive parkland, gradually reveals itself from the lake.
The excursion ends at Nyon’s landing stage, close to the castle, the old town and the lakeside promenade.
Along the way, local wildlife can often be spotted: swans, herons, tufted ducks and great crested grebes can be seen around your kayak. With a bit of luck, you may even glimpse a beaver or a brightly coloured kingfisher.
Covering approximately 10 to 12 kilometres, this unique experience also offers the opportunity to stop for a swim or enjoy a picnic in a setting that is both peaceful and spectacular.
