Forest Road Near the Rhône

Highlight • Trail

After leaving Colombier, enjoy the ride to the Rhone and along the Rhone. It is 10° warmer down here and for the second time since I left in mid-March, you can feel something like spring. It is April 2nd.

Savière Canal

Highlight • Bridge

The canal winds from Portout to Chanaz for almost four kilometers. This peaceful and pleasant setting attracts many boaters who enjoy the gentleness of its banks.
