On this ride through the lower foothills of the Parc Régional du Massif des Bauges, you will explore a leafy landscape in a unspoiled rural setting.

This trail of gentle uphill and downhill slopes along the heights of Albens enables you to discover most of the tree species, a geological site, an old bread oven and a traditional forge.

Cross the river, then, at the intersection with the 'route d'Orly', cross the railway to take the 'chemin Sous-Bois' to return to the Albens train station.

Follow the River Deysse on level country roads all the way. Skirting around old dry swamps, this level route is ideal for a family outing. It runs along a poplar grove, passes the Crosagny Mill and crosses the village of Braille.

The comfort walk takes in part of the Albens Marshes loop. "The Marais d'Albens itinerary crosses the Deysse wet forest. Several information panels adorn the route. A discovery pond was created in 2021 in the heart of this wooded area. It also leads to the Crosagny ponds. Some sections of the route are also used by mountain bikers, while others pass through exploited land (meadows, tree-cutting, etc.). Sharing space is essential and allows everyone to enjoy unspoilt nature."

A short ramble in a rural setting, with a mix of heritage sights (chapel, feudal ruins, remains of a Roman road). A view of Lac du Bourget and the Chautagne poplar grove completes your walk. Want to stretch your legs without doing a lot of climbing? Would you like to see the ruins of a 13th-century castle that was the site of numerous sieges involving the Counts of Savoy? Would you like to get to a lovely viewpoint overlooking Lac du Bourget, Chautagne and Petit Bugey? This is the walk for you! An easy trail, first forested, then more airy as you reach the ruins of the Château-Neuf. And children will be delighted to see the old circular keep with its 3-metre-thick walls! But be warned, access to the ruins themselves is forbidden, or risk falling into one of the wells, which could take you back to a completely different era... The view is panoramic, and just imagine that further down you'll find other remains, those of a palafittic village bearing witness to the first sedentary communities settled in Alpine Europe in the 9th century BC. This walk is a real history book!

On this lovely ride, you will ascend up to the village of Chainaz-les-Frasses before 'plunging' back towards the start point. Have a break at the fountain next to the church.

Through the lower foothills of the Parc Régional Naturel du Massif des Bauges, you will explore a leafy landscape in a protected rural setting.

The “Sapenay Tour” walk will take you through the forest and on a nice scenic road – great views over the Lac du Bourget guaranteed! The trail starts just before the Chapel, on the parking lot named “La Carrière”. Yellow signs will indicate either “Tour du Sapenay” or “Col du Sapenay”. Take the large forest trail at the end of the parking lot. When you reach “Les Masures” (yellow signs), go straight towards “Col du Sapenay“. On the way, a viewpoint will let you admire remote parts of Cessens as well as the Bauges mountain range. You will then come to another yellow sign, named “Le Tuyau”. From here you can either follow the normal hike or take the alternate – and shorter – one. If you decide to go for the main one, keep going straight, still towards “Col du Sapenay“. The trails slightly goes up to “Pre Reinet” then goes down to a forest road in Le Sapenay. The walk continues on a paved and scenic road across the Sapenay site. After nearly 2,5km, you will reach a sharp turn : take a left into the stony trail and then a right at the crossraod called “Fornay”. Following this path, you will arrive to a little chapel, right next to the parking lot you departed from. Comment: there are a few sightseeing areas along the road – paragliding, hang gliding, view points over the Lac du Bourget and the Chautagne area. It is highly recommended to take the time and check them out. Alternate “Sapenay Tour” If you prefer the shorter walk, take the trail on your left at the crossroad called “Le Tuyau”. This is a forest path, going up in the forest and along the Sapenay meadows. You will discover a beautiful view over the Lac du Bourget at the place called “Fornay” (with yet some other yellow signs). Follow the trail straight ahead. It will lead you to a small chapel and back to your car.

A family-run business for 4 generations, Caveau Quinard, whose vines are located on the high banks of the Rhône Valley in Massignieu-de-Rives, close to the ViaRhôna, has been organically farmed since 2010. The Quinard estate comprises 12.5 hectares of vines. The vineyards are farmed organically. The Quinard estate is also committed to providing a warm welcome: a smile is the order of the day, tastings of the estate's wines are offered, and numerous tourist brochures (in French and Dutch) are available for customers. Julien Quinard made the commitment to organic farming in 2009, the year in which he converted the entire vineyard to organic methods. No synthetic products (herbicides, insecticides) or chemical fertilisers are used. The vines are treated only with minerals and plants in order to produce the healthiest grapes possible. The vinification process is traditional, with no yeast added. This means more manual work (ploughing one traille out of 2, leaving the other as grass), which makes it easier for the equipment to pass through. Domaine wines : Bugey red (Gamay, Pinot noir, Mondeuse) White Bugey (Chardonnay, Roussette) Bugey brut (traditional method), white and rosé Perle de Rose (sparkling rosé using the traditional method) Marc du Bugey

Organise your events, training courses or workshops in an exceptional setting... The Cocoon Gîte and Cocoon Dôme offer a place of resources and well-being for small groups. Le Cocoon A 120m2 gîte for 15 people, with a kitchen and living room on the first floor, 7 bedrooms upstairs and independent sanitary facilities on the first floor. Le Cocoon Dôme, an independent 28m2 room, ideal for your practices and meetings (geodesic dome), nestled in the middle of the undergrowth and accessible via a footpath. It all started from there... We dreamed of creating a resource site, a wellness area in the heart of our undergrowth in the Savoyard foreland. Anaïs trained at the Lyon School of Naturopathy in 2014, and very quickly wanted a training site nestled in nature. Guillaume took charge of the project, and we did everything ourselves, from floor to ceiling :) We have two children, Théo and Jade, who are accompanying us on this wonderful adventure. Both trained in yoga, we studied, designed and built the Cocoon space to meet the demands of wellness practices.

This is one of the most beautiful lookouts from which to admire the Lac du Bourget, (the largest natural lake in France), in its entirety, as well as the Abbaye d'Hautecombe.

A lookout at the foot of the ruins of Château Neuf. An orientation table shows the countryside around the Lac du Bourget, Chautagne and the surrounding mountains. For safety reasons, entering the ruins is strictly prohibited. A bit of history about Les Tours de César: We do not know much about the Chateaux de Cessans, but there are still significant ruins from the château named 'Château Neuf', as opposed to 'Château-Vieux', of which there is almost nothing remaining. These two châteaux are very close together, and guard the Col de Cessens passage, which you can still access by what is commonly (and mistakenly) known as a Roman road. This perfectly paved road actually dates from after the Roman era. Le Château-Neuf, seemingly built in the 13th century, was still inhabited in 1608, but was severely damaged by the French army in the 17th century. Today, we still call these ruins 'Tours de César'.

Opposite the Dent du Chat, a great place to recharge after walking the 'au fil de l'eau' trail. On the grass or sand, relax to the sound of the gently lapping waters of Lake Bourget. No smoking.
