Linking the three major lakes of the area (Lake Geneva, Lake Bourget, and Lake Annecy), the cycling routes essentially follow river paths along the Rhône and Isère rivers. On your way, you’ll encounter a variety of photo-worthy scenery, villages that seem stuck in time, and of course, mountains upon mountains.
