Description


The local transport company runs a number of ferries (M1, M2, M3 and M4) which cross the lower part of the lake. M1 runs every 10 minutes from the centre of town, by the southern end of the Mont-Blanc Bridge to Genčve-Pâquis (3 minute journey) where it connects with the M2 ferry across to the Jardain Anglais (every 10 minutes, 3 minute journey) and the M3 ferry up to Genčve-Plage (every 30 minutes, 10 minute journey). At Genčve-Plage the M3 connects with the M4 (every 30 minutes, boats wait for each other, 10 minute journey) that heads back across the lake to the Parc de La Perle du Lac, close to the Botanical Gardens. With the ferries connecting with each other it's possible to explore much of the lower lake for the cost of a public transport ticket, rather than paying for an expensive cruise.

Getting There

Suggested Itinerary - Take M1 from Genčve-Molard to Genčve-Pâquis. Here you could do a round trip on the M2 across to Genčve-Quai Gustave Ador, but if time is tight catch the M3 from here directly to Genčve-Plage where it connects with the M4 back across the lake to Genčve-De-Châteaubriand. Depending on the connection at Genčve-Pâquis you can do the entire trip in about 45 minutes. You can then either take the same route back, or it's a short walk from the M4 pier to the bus stop for buses back into the centre of Geneva.
