The route
Leaving Yvoire, the Vegetti trail follows the edge of the plateau above Lake Geneva to the neighbouring village of Nernier. The path mixes tarmac, earth and stones, and is even passable with an all-terrain pushchair.
It is a good way to extend a visit to Yvoire away from the crowds, with the Swiss shore opposite.
