On this loop 8/9km loop, you will discover the diverse landscapes of the Genevan countryside. Explore the unique Sionnet Marsh, a natural wetland known for its rich birdlife and tranquil ponds, before encountering the historic Château de Rouelbeau Ruins, a 14th-century fortress surrounded by water. As you hike, enjoy views of rolling vineyards, and on clear days, you might even spot the distant Jura Mountains.

Please only come if your dog is -

• Old enough to walk for 2.30 hours (no puppies under the age of 10 months, unless you're able to carry them)
• Friendly with other dogs
• Obedient (good recall, particularly in situations where we may come across wild animals)
• In good health (no diarrhoea, coughing, limping, after an operation, etc)

Owners are responsible for their own dogs. This is a busy route with many runners and other dogs, and we will be close to busy roads at a couple of points during the walk so please be vigilant with your dog for their safety. When we will be on the road/close to roads I will let you know so you can put your dog on a lead or have them walk to heel.

Please let me know in advance if your dog has any behavioural issues i.e. Fear of larger dogs, dominance, etc and we can agree if your dog can join but be kept on a lead, muzzled etc.

Geneva Hiking with Dogs is a voluntary organisation and will not be held responsible for any incidents or accidents during one of its walks. I ask that you are vigilant with your dog and manage any antisocial behaviour. You may be asked to keep your dog on a lead if it is demonstrating antisocial behaviour.
