  • Discover the Lac d'Aiguebelette Community of Communes! This itinerary will take you through a variety of landscapes, from the shores of the lake to the small villages of the Savoyard foreland, via the foothills of the Chartreuse.

  • Departing from the Maison du Lac, you'll follow the eastern shore of Lac d'Aiguebelette. After a warm-up along the emerald waters, you'll reach the foothills of the Chartreuse massif. Passing the côte de Dullin, you'll reach the heights of the western shore, and Novalaise. It's the ideal place for a coffee-stop, so don't forget to recharge your batteries before the Col de la Crusille and the Côte de Marcieux! Once you've reached the top, just let yourself roll all the way to the finish.
  • Tips
    For a less steep finish, you can go directly to the village of Marcieux via the "Route de Marcieux".
    This variant offers a total distance of 47.5 km and 1,000 metres of ascent.
