Please note, from Saint-Gingolph to Evian, the route is reserved for seasoned cyclists, we strongly recommend that families start the route in Evian-les-Bains or Thonon-les-Bains. Be careful between Geneva and Seyssel: this section of ViaRhôna is reserved for seasoned and determined cyclists. Its route, its topography and its motorized traffic make it a route not recommended for families and "walking" cyclists. Be careful between Lyon and Givors, a temporary route is in place (with signage) but can be complicated for families and the uninitiated. Train (TER) strongly recommended between Lyon and Givors.

Travel along this path of civilizations with more than 2 years of history, between the Mediterranean and Europe. Landscapes, towns and villages, vineyards and gastronomy will parade to the rhythm of the territories crossed. Pending the complete completion of ViaRhôna, which will take several years, a provisional route is now offered to the most experienced cyclists. For a gentler practice, prefer the stages already open and accessible to all.
ViaRhôna is 87% finished and the end of its development is scheduled for 2020.
