Pedal & Paddle: Pairing Your Complimentary Comfort Chalet Bikes with Sciez Watersport Rentals

Looking for a car-free adventure that blends scenic cycling with time on the water? With Sciez watersport rentals just steps from the campsite and complimentary bikes included in every Comfort range chalet, it’s easy to plan a full, fun, and eco‑friendly day on the shores of Lake Geneva. Start on two wheels, switch to a paddle or a sail, and finish with a sunset stroll along the Blue Flag marina—only a five‑minute walk from the campsite.

Why the Comfort Chalet Bikes Change Your Day

Every chalet in our Comfort range includes two hybrid bikes at no extra cost. That means you can:

• Roll out early for a relaxed ride to the Sciez‑sur‑Léman marina and beach (about a five‑minute walk from the campsite—an even quicker bike hop).
• Keep your day car‑free and flexible—stop for photos, a lakeside picnic, or a quick swim.
• Add more bikes if needed: mountain or hybrid bike rentals are available at reception, and electric bikes can be rented at several places nearby.

Hybrid bikes are built for mixed terrain, so they’re ideal for quiet roads and park paths around Sciez. The upright position keeps the ride comfortable and lets you soak up lake and mountain views.
