Tour du Lac

Since 1972 the regatta has been organized at the end of September every year by the yacht club Société Nautique de Genève.

With a distance of 160 km (99 mi),[1] The starting point of the regatta is the mole of the club Société Nautique de Genève.

Traditionally the route runs on the Swiss lakeside past Nyon, Lausanne, Vevey and Montreux to the end of the lake in Villeneuve.

Afterwards the boats row along the French lake side past the cities of Le Bouveret, Evian and Yvoire back to Geneva.

Because of the adverse external conditions in some years the route was changed in the short-run.
