Cycling - Tour of the Lac du Bourget

A tour not to be missed for all cycling fans, with exceptional views of the Lac du Bourget and the alpine slopes.

52 - Tour du lac du Bourget

One of the most beautiful bike rides in the area. Numerous highlights include Le Bourget's beach and harbour, the viewpoint on the climb to the Col du Chat, the bird's-eye view of Hautecombe Abbey from Ontex, Portout harbour, Aix's two harbours.

53 - La Charvaz Circuit

A variant on the Lac du Bourget Circuit, with a few more great moments: the crossing of the Col du Chat, a descent through the vineyards of the Avant-Pays and an obligatory coffee stop at one of the terraces in Chanaz, one of the most beautiful villages in Savoie.

54 - La Chambotte Circuit

After the final hairpin bend and the tunnel, look right over the cliff to see the dizzying view over the lake. This view can also be admired from the Restaurant de la Cambotte, whose terrace hangs over the void!

55 - Sapenay Circuit

After an arduous climb and long ridge crossing, your efforts will be rewarded by an outstanding descent over the Marais de Chautagne, with views of a fjord-like Lake Bourget, and the Grand Colombier towering above the Rhône. Marvellous!

Sightseeing in a Citroën 2CV

We offer a drive through Chautagne with a driver, to rediscover the simple joys of the 2CV.
