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.

Hiking

The Canal de Savière in Chanaz, with its waterfront promenade running on wooden planks over the water, is a particularly beautiful place. Here you can have a good time in the restaurant and watch the boats traveling on the 3.5 km long canal to Lac de Bourget.

Hiking

This strikingly arched pedestrian bridge in Chanaz must be crossed by every hiker on the GR 65.
From there you have a nice view of the small town of Chanaz. In this place there are still houses from the 15th and 16th centuries. Many artisans have settled in the center and exhibit their works in the narrow streets and old houses.
