La Belle Via, along the mountains waterways
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.
