In the heart of Evian-les-Bains, between Lake Geneva and the Chablais Alps, Le Bureau des Guides of Évian Resort is much more than just a service: it is a passionate team, a family of mountaineers and sailors who have grown up in these parts. Our guides — local men and women — carry the spirit of Haute-Savoie within them. They know every hiking trail, every hidden spot along the shores of Lake Geneva, every legend passed down through the generations.
