No difficulty. The path runs along the edge of the Rhône, without any elevation gain.

The view of the river, the rustle of the wind in the leaves, the coolness of the trees make it an ideal trail for a walk at the end of the day, with a stroller or a four-legged friend, or even for running.

About 4.5 km (one way) in a straight line from the chapel to the end of the fitness trail. For a slightly shorter version, from the chapel to the port road (3km). A break is recommended on the picnic tables at the level of the river stop, in the calm of the weeping willows, with a view of the waters of the Rhône.
