While we have the largest lake in Western Europe here on our doorstep - there are so many lakes, big and small, that we visit on our tours.

For a complete contrast to Lac Léman, consider the Lac de Joux Plane, some 1000 metres higher and a beautiful reward for conquering the Col de Joux Plane from Samoëns (or indeed from Morzine). Both sides are ridden on our early summer training camps.

But our tours aren’t always just about the climbing, we love a flat lake ride as much as the next cyclist - so get in touch and see which alpine lakes you’ll be cycling beside on your next adventure.

Soon after moving to Geneva and buying my very first road bike, one question began to loom large: Is it possible to ride all the way around Lac Léman?
At the time, my definition of a “long ride” was a casual spin along the lakeside road to Nyon and back – a modest 40 kilometers. I still vividly recall wandering into my local bike shop, proudly regaling Carlos, the shop’s Portuguese owner, with the details of my heroic morning output. One glance at his eyes told me everything I needed to know. He wasn’t quite as blown away by my athletic prowess as I was.
Realizing that building real engine capacity meant expanding my radius, I started hunting for ride buddies on local expat forums. Before long, we were stretching out our mileage, banking longer hours in the saddle, exploring the lush Geneva vineyards, and pushing deeper along both sides of the lake.

Sounds simple hey?

All you have to do is turn the pedals.

Depending on the trip you come on with us here at Borne Cycling it might not be that easy. Consider the Mortirolo pass (12.4km 10.5% average) which we ride on our Bormio and Stelvio trip, where simply getting one pedal stroke after the other is no simple task.

But pedalling really is all that you need to worry about when you come on a tour. We take care of everything else.

From route planning to post ride massage, rider crafted nutrition to full board accommodation, on the road guiding to celebratory beers, we’ve got you covered.

Tours for 2027 will be going online soon - send us a message for a sneak preview.

Where would you like to turn the pedals? Let me know and we’ll see if we can’t build a tour just for you.

Words can’t do justice to day three of watching the

The atmosphere riding up the Col de la Faucille was incredible. Such a privilege to ride on these roads and be cheered like a champion. It will make riding up there on a normal day rather dull now.

Thanks for the photos

From start to finish ( or finish to start). Simply stunning to see this race on Swiss roads.

I’ve just published my write up of the trip up Le Salève on gravel trails.

TLDR is that it is bumpy, steep (in places) and very awesome.

Like a brand new mountain for me today. Incredible off road route up Mont Salève. Tough climbing, and bumpy descending but simply amazing riding.

Ever ridden this route up the Salève?
