The route

From the church in Excenevex, the loop passes the big sandy beach, the only one on the French shore, then returns through the countryside, with the Dent d’Oche and the Chablais Prealps on the horizon.

Little climbing and two hours on foot: an easy outing to combine with a swim in summer.
