Description

The Via Rhona is an 815km long cycle route, which links Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean Sea, along the Rhone river. It alternates between safe greenways, managed for cyclo-tourists, and shared routes.

The Via Rhona in the Balcons du Dauphine is composed of three sections, where countryside, patrimony and authenticity blend harmoniously to become one!
Therefore, a 88km long course on our lands.

Start your journey from Saint-Genix-sur-Guiers to Groslée (Belley - Groslée section, 39 km). You ride along the edge of the Haut-Rhône Français National Nature Reserve (and the meanders of the Saugey river). Greenways and managed roads for this part.

Continue on the Groslée - La Balme-les-Grottes section (52km), where you will discover the Balcons du Dauphine, and, particularly, Morestel, the town of painters, and La Balme-les-Grottes, a village known for its magnificent caves and its picturesque centre. This part features unspoilt nature, with ponds, lakes and marshes.
With minimal elevation, it is suitable for the whole family. Ride at your own speed and discover the rich scenery, generously provided by the river.

Finish your ride in the Balcons du Dauphine by taking the provisional route from La Balme-les-Grottes - Jons (towards Lyon): 38 km
where authentic villages, castles and vineyards come one after the other. You will also be amazed by the natural site at the junction between the Ain and the Rhone, the Jonage Canal and the Grand Parc de Miribel-Jonage.
This stage is on small roads.

Extend the experience by exploring the whole Via Rhona, a detailed map is available in the tourist information offices.

Also note: The Via Rhona now connects to the Balcons du Dauphine Greenway, meaning you can ride from Arandon-Passins to Crémieu.

Hières-sur-Amby Heritage Centre

Through its collections, the Hières-sur-Amby archeological museum, located below the Larina archaeological site, presents the history of the settlement in Isle Crémieu, from Prehistory to the early Middle-Ages.Entirely renovated and extended, the museum offers a new and original look at the people who wrote the history of Isle Crémieu. It is located in the heart of the village dominated by the cliffs and the Larina archaeological site. Designed to facilitate the understanding of archaeology and the relationship of man to his environment, the museum traces the history of human occupation from Prehistory to the early Middle-Age. From the prehistoric ceramics from the La Balme caves to the archaeological remains at the Larina site, from the tomb of the Celtic Prince and the Gallo-Roman villa of St Romain de Jalionas to the chariot burial of a gallic aristocrat from Verna, all these pieces offer a unique experience to the visitors. With what are sometimes exceptional archaeological objects, the understanding of time is facilitated by the interpretation of the remains with the help of maps, models and many reconstructions. Throughout a simple and illustrated chronology, the daily life, lifestyles, conflicts and funerary rites of the successive populations on the territory are unveiled. Weapons, ornaments, crafts, burials... all the elements are presented in the exhibition, allowing visitors to appreciate and interpret the technical, artistic and architectural developments. The museum now has a temporary exhibition hall, where it features a very wide variety of displays.
