Excenevex walking loop
IGN cards
Description
Passing from the shores of Lake Geneva to the rural and agricultural areas of the plateau, this easy walk is accessible to all and offers some beautiful panoramas.
Starting from St Symphorien church, built between 1862 and 1869, the Excenevex loop is the perfect family day out on the shores of Lake Geneva.
Accessible to all, you'll first make your way through the narrow streets of the village, before reaching the agricultural areas inland. You'll then reach the Ecenevex beach to finish your stroll on the shores of Lake Geneva. The beach at Ecenevex is the only sandy beach on Lake Geneva.
Developed in the 1930s, this Natura 2000 site boasts a remarkable geology, with lake dunes unique in Europe alongside those of Hungary's Lake Balaton. Take the time to walk to the end of the landing stage to admire the view before returning to the church.
