The creator of the site analyzed nearly 10,000 flights connecting the 550 largest airports in the world.
The flights concerned are: Nice-Geneva in first place, Nice-Zurich in second, Nice-Basel in fifth position and Nice-Lyon in seventh position of the most turbulent routes. The reason for this ranking is the overflight of the Alps mountain range which can create interference.
The rest of the ranking:

Between 0-20, turbulence is considered light, between 20-40 moderate, between 40-60 strong, severe between 60-80 and finally extreme between 80-100.
The flight from Mendoza in Argentina to Santiago in Chile is the most turbulent in the world with a rate of 24,684.
