No other Swiss city is as strongly connected to maritime culture as Geneva. Home to internationally recognised sailing traditions, major shipping companies, and a sailing club that won the America’s Cup, the city has long maintained a close relationship with water and international exchange.
This route follows the Rhône River as it flows out of Lake Geneva and continues toward the Mediterranean Sea. Along the way, the walk reveals riverside spaces, urban districts, and natural areas shaped by the presence of water and the city’s role as a global centre for diplomacy, trade, and culture.
The combination of waterfront activities, international atmosphere, and natural surroundings creates a distinct perspective on Geneva and its connection to the wider world.
