Cycling / e-bike loop - factories roads
A hilly loop from the former glacier valley of Bourbre to sighting spots upon Epine and Chartreuse Moutains.
“Factory tracks” we choose this way to make you discover the Haute Bourbre valley. You will discover many sites and factories and during this bike ride..
Weaving workshops, shoe factories, hydraulic power, agricultural development... are still the witnesses of an important industrial development at the end of the 19th century.
This itinerary will also make you discover the charming village of Val-de-Virieu and its medieval castle, the atypical church and the fortified house of Chassignieu, the mill of St-Ondras or the pond of Vivier.
The country roads are quiet and offer very nice views, an unavoidable walk in the Vals du Dauphiné area!
