GRP Littoral du Léman - Stage 4: Champanges > Thonon-les-Bains

This fourth stage of the GRP Littoral du Léman will take you from Champanges to Thonon-les-Bains. Along the Dranse, then on a rural path to the Chataigneraie park, you will then walk along the lake of Geneva to the center of Thonon-les-Bains.

Starting from Champanges, this stage will take you first to the domain of Ripaille, with a part along the Dranse. With a 3,000 year old history, this domain is a worthy representative of the history of the territory.
