Geney: Hiking, Cycling and Seasonal Fishing

Geney offers several distinct ways to plan a stay: a moderately difficult circular hiking route with a stated duration, a long circular cycling route for experienced riders, and seasonal fishing at the village pond. These activities appeal to different travel interests. To plan your stay, you can first decide whether hiking, cycling, or fishing should be the focus; the specific information about each activity can help you shape your stay around that choice. The hiking route is listed as taking six hours.

Hiking: La tournée des 3 Rois

The La tournée des 3 Rois circular hiking route is 18.7 kilometres long, rated moderately difficult, and listed as taking six hours. Together, the distance, difficulty rating, and estimated time provide a clear profile for planning: you can make the route a major activity during your stay and compare its rating with your own expectations for a hike. The stated difficulty is a guide alongside the distance. Check whether the “moderate” rating suits your personal hiking plans.

Named paths leading to the D118

The route follows the Chemin d'Étrappe to Geney. It then continues along the Grande Rue, the Chemin de Derrière les Vergers, and the Chemin de Clergemont through a wooded area to the D118. Alongside the circular route’s key details, this sequence provides specific path names and a wooded section to help you find your way. Trail conditions may change; check them before setting out. You can trace the sequence of named paths on a map in advance.

Cycling on a long circular route

The Grand Tour des Deux Vallées Vertes also passes through Geney and is a long circular route for experienced cyclists. The two offerings therefore differ in activity and stated level: La tournée des 3 Rois is a moderately difficult, six-hour hiking route, while the Grand Tour is a cycling route for experienced riders. If you are choosing between them, the first thing to consider is whether you want to travel on foot or by bike. Conditions on the cycling route may also change; check them before setting out.

Seasonal fishing at the pond

Fishing is available seasonally at the Étang de pêche in Geney. The fishing pond contains carp and pike; the fish population may change. Check which period fishing is available before your visit. A day fishing permit for the village pond is available at Geney town hall on Wednesdays and Fridays. As this arrangement may change, check before your arrival whether permits are being issued there at that time. There is a picnic table beside the pond on the Chemin d'Étrappe.
