First Trip to Chevry France

A nice dry overcast day. Light wind from the south. So off I went to the north for three kms on the Route de Vignoble before turning south to Duillier after passing through Prangins. Then is was the climb from Duillier to Trelex, the relatively flat, but pleasantly hilly traverse to Gingins, Cheserex, Crassier.

At Crassier I crossed the border into France and began the climb to Gex, doing through Divonne. From Gex it was on to Chevry. At Chevery I turned east and down toward Ferney Voltaire, going through the Veraz, Bretigny, Villars-Tacon and Ornex.

In Ferney Voltaire I crossed back into Switzerland, and went the backroads above Versoix to Mies. Then on to Tannay and down
the lake road through Coppet, Founex, Celigny, Crans, Nyon.

60 kms
Total time 2 hours 43 minutes
Temperature 10 degrees celsius
Climb: 421 m in Nyon to 621 m in Gex
