From Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean at your own pace !

ViaRhôna has a grand ambition – to lead you by bike, beside the Rhône River, from Lake Geneva to France’s Mediterranean beaches! This 815km cycle route, still in progress, leads the cyclist from Alpine panoramas to Camargue beaches across emblematic landscapes of the Cotes du Rhône vineyards and those of the southern Provence: hilltop villages, lavender or olive tree fields, gastronomic discoveries. ViaRhôna cycle route spreads more than 2000 years of history and heritage treasures alternating secure greenways and shared paths.

Path modification

The route has been updated and mainly on tarmac paths. It follows a slightly different route so follow signs and markings. If in doubt follow tarmac. At one point the Rhone has taken away the path. There is a temporary muddy short path avoiding the edge but difficult to cycle so we walked. Most of the rote is now cycle paths. GPX files need updating.

Refreshments

We cycled June and passed a few refreshment stops on route although did take a sandwich. The towns we cycled through had French opening hours so shops shut at 12. The Grottes well worth seeing.

New cycle path

This cycle path has been upgraded, there are no tunnels and no need to go onto the busy road. Very good cycle tracks, this whole route is very smooth and well signposted.
