Sentier du Rhône in Geneva: Walk from Lac Léman to La Plaine

Last fall, I went on a walk in Geneva, following the Sentier du Rhône (Rhône Trail) from Lake Geneva (Lac Léman) to La Plaine (Dardagny). The official map of the trail is available here.

Here is a map of the path I walked (download KML):

In the morning, I took a LIHSA bus from Annecy to Geneva. I got off at the Quai du Seujet bus stop and made a detour to the lake. I crossed the Rhône at Pont du Mont Blanc then walked on the left bank of the river all the way to La Plaine. There, I took a CFF train back to Geneva then boarded a bus to Annecy.
