La Belle Via

The Belle Via offers a 123km escapade through the Dauphiné Alps, a charming alternative to the traditional ViaRhôna route.

This picturesque route takes you through Isère, with breathtaking views of the iconic peaks of the Alps in the background. You’ll be amazed by the diversity of the scenery, from sparkling lakes and lush vineyards to the majestic mountains of Belledonne and Chartreuse.

There are two starting points for your adventure: La Balme-de-Sillingy in Haute-Savoie or Chanaz in Savoie. You can cover up to 364 km, depending on which section you choose.

Continue your journey to Grenoble, where culture, mountains and city life meet in harmony. Climb to the Bastille for a breathtaking panoramic view of the city.
As you follow the meandering Isère from Grenoble, you’ll discover the typical landscapes of the valley, from the foothills of the Vercors to walnut groves as far as the eye can see. Stop off at the Grand Séchoir in Vinay to learn more about walnut growing, then
explore the Nan and Bourne gorges for some impressive natural architecture.
Finish your journey in the villages of Saint-Marcellin and Beauvoir-en-Royans, where you can visit the Couvent des Carmes and discover the fascinating phenomenon of petrifying fountains at La Sône.
La Belle Via invites you on a journey through the Alps, where every turn reveals new treasures to discover.
