Bike rides through La Côte’s wine villages from Nyon
Rides from Nyon up into the La Côte vineyards and wine villages between Nyon and Rolle, and back. The lanes are tagged at 50–80 km/h but carry a signed regional or national bike route, which is why our model counts them as quiet enough to suggest.
The 4 rides side by side
| Ride | Distance | Climbing | Bike paths & quiet streets | Busier roads | Steepest 500 m | Riding time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The vineyards of La Côte to Rolle | 35.9 km | 350 m | 20% | 16% | 8.7% | 1 h 40–2 h 15 |
| Mont-sur-Rolle | 31.0 km | 162 m | 6% | 7% | 4.1% | 1 h 15–1 h 45 |
| Rolle | 30.5 km | 178 m | 6% | 8% | 4.5% | 1 h 15–1 h 45 |
| Arboretum d'Aubonne | 45.2 km | 405 m | 4% | 11% | 10.5% | 2 h 05–2 h 45 |
Distances are the whole ride, there and back (km). Riding time is our estimate at a sporty pace and counts the climbing; allow more for stops.

How we chose them
From every ride we publish around Nyon, these are the ones that meet all of:
- between 25 km and 50 km in all
- at most 22% 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
- Vineyard lanes carry farm traffic at harvest (September–October).
- The steepest 500 m of each ride is in the table; the climbs up from the lake are short but real.
