The Pays d’Évian-Vallée d’Abondance is a region in the Haute-Savoie located on the edge of Lake Geneva, in the Chablais Massif. It extends from Publier in the northwest to the Swiss border in the east and goes right down to Châtel.
You can reach Thonon-les-Bains or Évian-les-Bains by train on the Swiss and French railway network. Since 2019, the Léman Express links Geneva to Evian in only 1 hour!
If you are coming from Lyon, you can reach Thonon or Évian in 3 hours by going through Bellegarde-sur-Valserine. From Paris, on Saturdays, you can even jump onto the direct TGV that takes only 4h30.
By plane, the closest airport is Geneva. You then take the airport train to “Geneva-Cornavin” (very regular service) for the link to Thonon-les-Bains or Évian-les-Bains in 1 hour.
If you are coming from the other side of the lake, maybe you’d be interested in joining the region by boat from Lausanne! There are regular crossings linking Lausanne to Thonon-les-Bains and Lausanne to Évian-les-Bains.
EVA’D (Evian Vallée d’Abondance Déplacements) brings together all the traffic information, the network map and details all the transport lines and timetables circulating in the territory. Buses, trains and boats!
