Be it water, roads, routes, or paths, there are so many fun ways to experience Lake Geneva! Did you know you can grab a cup of coffee and jump on an ebike for a tour around town? Or walk around the WHOLE LAKE cutting across the lawns and driveways of the historic estates? Or what about, our favorite, stepping aboard a classic boat for a tour of the sights you wouldn’t be able to see from the shore? No matter your style of travel, we definitely recommend giving these modes of transportation a try as you take in Lake Geneva from a brand-new angle.

By Foot
Lake Shore Path
Tour the lake on foot by getting out on the Lake Shore Path! A public footpath along the lakeshore, it crosses over the yards and driveways of the lakefront estates, businesses, and public areas. Just over 20 miles long, this path takes 8 to 10 hours to walk the whole way.
The View: See the lake, lakefront estates, and other lakefront locations up-close and personal on the lake shore path! You will be so close to the large mansions you’ll actually be walking through their lawn. See the lake as the lakefront homeowners do! The view is like no other, an experience you won’t get anywhere else.
Comfort: The terrain can get a little uneven at times and is meant for experienced walkers. Interested in walking the whole path? Hats off to you! No matter how long you walk the lake shore path, you will see amazing sights and get great exercise. But walking the whole path isn’t necessary, you can travel halfway by boarding one of our boat tours. Just plan how you want to split up the walking and buy a ticket for our Full Lake Tour!
