Tricky passages
Warning between Geneva and Seyssel: this section of the ViaRhôna is reserved for hardened and determined cyclists. Its route, topography and motorized traffic make it inadvisable for families and leisure cyclists.
Animals
Yes. It is possible to travel with a pet transported in a luggage unit. But while it's tempting to consider having your dog run alongside your bike, this won't be possible everywhere: it will often have to be kept on a leash, and must be carried on sections of the route shared with motorized traffic.
