Nyon
Riding from Nyon to Coppet, Versoix and Geneva
Rides from Nyon port south along Lake Geneva to Coppet, Versoix and the city of Geneva, and back. They follow the signed lakeside route where it exists; it runs inland in places, so less of the ride is beside the water than the map suggests.

How we chose them
From every ride we publish around Nyon, these are the ones that meet all of:
- at least 60% on bike paths and the quietest streets
- at most 17% on busier roads
The numbers come from OpenStreetMap and terrain data, measured along each route by our engine (how rides are made). They are modelled, not checked on the ground, and say nothing about who should ride them: you know your riders best.
Before you go
- Between 11% and 17% of each ride is on busier roads, mostly where the route joins the lakeside main road. The share is in the table.
- Our map data stops at the Swiss border, so no ride goes into France.
