Description
A leisurely stroll to discover the spa town and admire it from the natural balcony overlooking Lac du Bourget. And a little exercise to give you a good excuse to end the day with a swim!
Leave the lake at your back (no regrets, you'll enjoy it on your return!) and pedal towards the city. As you make your way towards the heights of the spa town, you'll pass magnificent buildings worthy of one of France's finest spas. Ask your calves for a little more effort and you're on the road above. You're now pedaling at a leisurely pace, overlooking Aix-les-Bains, which stretches nonchalantly down to Lac du Bourget. Take advantage of the steady rhythm of your pedaling to admire the restful view of this immense expanse of water. Once you've reached the charming village of Grésy, you'll begin a gentle descent into the Corsuet forest. There's no need to slam on the brakes, just glide down into the pleasant shade of the tall trees. Then the lake and its boats reappear in the landscape. Come on, you've earned the right to step ashore and jump into its delightful waters!
