Setting off from Geneva, a bit grumpy, toward the shores of Lake Geneva, we weave through the crowds of wild commuters, but calmly via Versoix, Tannay, Commugny, Founex, Céligny, and finally Genolier, where the real fun begins. Indeed, while the road from Arzier to St-Cergue and La Givrine offers stunning views of the Lake Geneva basin, the climb is challenging. But after atoning for a few sins, the village of La Cure is reached as easily as pie. To avoid the main road and prolong the fun, we opt for the route to Prémanon and Morez via unlikely backroads. Phew: Lons-le-Saunier at last! Still, quite a bit of meandering to find our campsite. We lose not only our bearings but also our Michelin map, but eventually stumble upon the hostel—a bit spartan, but at least we’re sheltered.
