Cycle path along the Leysse

Highlight (Segment) • River

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.

Oops, I must have forgotten to start Komoot again on the way back from Bourdeau... only noticed after shopping at Intermarche. So I "flew" straight over Lac du Bourget! 😜😂
