Thonon-les-Bains

Highlight • Structure

In Thonon, there's the lower town, located at lake level with its beautiful harbor. The older upper town is well worth a visit if you're traveling by bike. The view of Lake Geneva is splendid.

The terrace is beautifully situated above the city, from here you have an exceptional panoramic view over Lake Geneva and the port of Rives.
Several restaurants and bars have settled nearby.

The statue that decorates the square was inaugurated on September 6, 1910.
This work by the sculptor Louis Noel represents Joseph Marie Dessaix, also known as "Bayard de la Savoie".

Thonon-les-Bains

Highlight • Lake

The Thonon cable car has been connecting the city center with the shores of Lake Geneva since 1888.
Designed by engineer Auguste Alesmonières, the total length of the line is 230 meters, including 86.8 meters of curve.
Inaugurated on Easter Monday, April 2, 1888, the Thonon cable car was used to overcome the difficulties of communication between the city and the port.
During its existence, the Thonon cable car was always in operation, only occasionally was it stopped for technical or political reasons.
It was renovated three times: in 1951 and 1989 (to modernize the mechanism) and most recently in 2010.
The new facility, which was inaugurated in 1989, is fully automated, which meant that the drivers in white blue-collar coats disappeared. The cabins now have a capacity of 54 seats.
