Description

A pleasant and not very difficult loop which follows the waterways of the Bièvre and the Guiers.

Start from the Gallo-Roman Museum's parking in Aoste.

This is an accessible loop with large paths for pedestrians and cyclists between various watercourses and dikes (La Bièvre, Le Guiers and the junction with le Rhône). Take the time to embrace the landscape nearby Bugey's region.

ROUTE

After leaving Aosta, follow the Bièvre through the undergrowth on this wide, peaceful path. You pass through the village of St-Didier d'Aoste and enter the French Haut-Rhône Nature Reserve, where the Rhône River meets its tributaries, the Bièvre and the Guiers. This wetland with its many small islands is a refuge for the red kite, the European beaver and the great crested newt. You can also admire wild orchids and carnivorous plants such as the round-leaved sundew.

Follow the wide path along the Rhône and then the Guiers to Lac de Romagnieu, a leisure centre that charges a fee in summer and offers a wide range of activities: swimming, pétanque, volleyball, tennis, fishing, bar-restaurant, etc. It is generally possible to walk around the lake free of charge outside summer when the leisure centre is closed.
Between Romagnieu and Aoste, the route follows paths and small roads surrounded by cultivated fields.
