This sixth stage of the GRP Littoral du Léman will take you from Sciez to Yvoire. In a first part, you will reach Excenevex and its exceptional fine sand beach, before reaching Yvoire, a magnificent medieval village.

From the marina of Sciez-sur-Léman, you will walk along the Coudrée domain to reach the fine sand beach of Excenevex. This beach is the only natural beach of fine sand on Lake Geneva.

Developed in the 1930's, this Natura 2000 site has a remarkable geology due to its lake dunes which are unique in Europe with those of the Hungarian lake of Balaton. The village of Yvoire will also delight your curiosity.

Classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France and rich in 700 years of history, a magnificent castle stands on the edge of the lake.

Built from 1306 by the Count of Savoy Amédée V, the castle of Yvoire had for function to supervise the navigation and to control the maritime road which connected Geneva to the high valley of the Rhone and to Italy.
