Belle Via
Belle Via, an escape along the river
The Belle Via is a newly established 364-km cycle route crossing four departments: Haute-Savoie, Savoie, Isère and Drôme. This scenic path winds through the foothills of the Bauges, Chartreuse and Belledonne mountain ranges, continuing into the Vercors, and then transitions to the Drôme hills before reaching the Provençal ambiance of the Rhône valley.
Both the starting and ending points of the Belle Via seamlessly connect with the European ViaRhôna route. Positioned as a pre-alpine alternative to the ViaRhôna, which follows the Rhône from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, the Belle Via offers cyclists a distinct and picturesque journey through varied landscapes.
The ViaRhôna
The ViaRhôna cycle route spans an impressive 815 km from Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean, segmented into 25 touring stages. The 11th stage, passing through the Vienne Condrieu area, is notable for its innovative developments.
Suitable for families and experienced cyclists alike, the route offers a variety of options for day trips or longer journeys.
In Isère, the ViaRhôna stretches for 90 km along the Rhône. This stretch invites travellers to discover varied landscapes, charming towns and villages, picturesque vineyards and local gastronomy, all reflecting the unique character of the regions it passes through.
This leisurely route allows you to use a variety of sustainable modes of transport, including cycling, rollerblading, scootering and walking. Importantly, it is accessible to people with reduced mobility, providing an enriching experience for all.
