7:00-8:00 - MORNING RUN BY THE LAKE

Location : Meeting at the metro station of Ouchy-Olympique (20 minutes from CHUV)

We offer a (slow) morning run alongside the Lake of Geneva (ca. 6km), accessible to everyone.
There is no checkroom or showers. Please come in your jogging clothes.

After the jogging round (approx. 35-40 minutes) there is the opportunity to swim in Lake Geneva.
The swimming area is very close to the metro station. It is a natural body of water and access is via a jetty (good mobility and swimming skills are required). There are no lifeguards and swimming is at your own risk.

As there is no checkroom available, swimsuits/towel must be carried while jogging. It is possible to take part in the jogging session only.

We look forward to meeting you on the lakeshore and spending a part of the morning with you in close touch with nature.
