The ViaRhôna Lodges

Highlight • Rest Area

Public toilets are located behind the lodges in the parking lot for cars and campers. We find far fewer public toilets on the Via Rhona than on the Atlantic coast (Normandy, Brittany, Velodyssee).

ViaRhôna Cycle Path Along the Rhône Near Brens

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

A perfect representation of the ViaRhôna cycle path. Between mountains, hills and the Rhône. The bike path is well maintained and well thought out with plenty of places to stop and enjoy the views.

Cycle path between Virignin and the Écassaz Bridge

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway
