02
La Jonction
The move: As you go you’ll pass a handful of entry points — stone steps, low walls, spots where people have been lowering themselves in for decades.
03
La Barje
The move: You swim, you climb out, you finish your beer.
04
Sciez-sur-Léman
The move: Good with kids: the water is shallow for a long way out.
