The Leysse is a torrential and wild stream which flows from the Bauges massif and which becomes a lowland river from Chambéry to Lake Bourget. The cycle path winds along the watercourse and offers a bucolic setting for a stroll.

I did this cycle path March on 19th 2024 from the Bourget-du Lac to the end near Chambery. It's a two lane route, however it's abysmal as it's packed with all types. Roadies who pass within centimeters, e-bikes the same, runners hogging the whole path. The French never seem to work as I rode the other side north on a March Wednesday afternoon last year and it was almost impossible to ride. Kids are not at school on Wednesday afternoons, so all the parents take off work and go for a ride / walk around the lake!
Hate it for biking around here, although it's obviously very picturesque, but no fun with the packed paths.
