The Rhône River

Highlight • River

An impressive view of the Rhône. There is also a swimming spot a little down the road, however the currents can be strong so be careful. A great place for a picnic (no facilities, but nice views).

This metal bridge spans the Rhone. It offers a beautiful view of the river on one side and an impressive view of the motorway viaduct from below on the other.

A beautiful bridge in a very green area of Geneva.
The Passerelle du Lignon was built in the 1970s by the company Sappro, which operates a pipeline of refined petroleum products in Switzerland. Indeed, the bridge is connected to an oil pipeline on the right and is used for the transport of petroleum products coming from France towards the storage area of Vernier.
