Geneva in winter

I went to Geneva on Christmas eve of last year. I walked around at random then headed to Ferney-Voltaire, in France.

Walk in Geneva

While waiting for my plane to Amsterdam, I spent a couple of hours in Geneva. I arrived in the morning on the LIHSA bus from Annecy and walked around starting from the highway bus station and finishing at the Cornavin railway station. I then took the bus to the airport.

Via Rhona: Geneva to Haute-Savoie along the Rhône by bike

Last week, on the day of the “Jeûne Genevois”, I went for a ride along the Rhône following (loosely) the route known as Via Rhona, that goes from Geneva to the town of Valleiry in Haute-Savoie (actually it is just a segment: The complete Via Rhona goes from the Rhône Glacier to the Mediterranean Sea) . I had already tried it before but I was not able to finish it then. Now I went all the way and, although it was quite cloudy with occasional rain, I had a great time.

Taken on my way to Collex-Bossy. The Mont-Blanc can be seen in the background.
