Traditionally the route runs on the Swiss lakeside past Nyon, Lausanne, Vevey and Montreux to the end of the lake in Villeneuve. Afterwards the boats row along the French lake side past the cities of Le Bouveret, Evian and Yvoire back to Geneva. Because of the adverse external conditions in some years the route was changed in the short-run. In addition, for reasons of safety, every boat is escorted by a motorboat.
