IGN cards
Description
The Tour des Bauges by bike winds its way through the foothills of the PNR of the Bauges massif. A beautiful escape into the heart of varied landscapes, punctuated by the rich heritage of towns and villages to discover during a stopover or a stage.
When you arrive in Aix-les-Bains Riviera des Alpes, you can explore the town's heritage by bike before heading to the Grand Port on the shores of Lac du Bourget, following the V63 signs and strolling along the Esplanade du Lac or visiting Aqualis, the Lac du Bourget interpretation center.
At the end of the esplanade, follow the V63 towards Le Bourget-du-Lac. This pleasant stretch of road, lined with reedbeds and with beautiful views of the Dent du Chat, the Chaine de l'Epine and Mont Revard, runs alongside Lac du Bourget, the largest natural lake in France, and gives full meaning to the word "wellness". There are three beaches along the way (Rowing, Lido, Mottets), ideal for a swim, picnic, refreshment or to follow the ballet of kit-surf sails. In the hamlet of Terre Nue, restaurants offer specialties from the lake. At Les Mottets, don't miss out on a visit to the freely accessible bird observatories. Then follow the greenway along the course of the Leysse to reach Chambéry, a city of Art and History.
