Here's a little tour that offers a great adventure. Grab your bike and follow the River Gelon! With just a few easy pedal strokes, you'll discover the charming villages that have settled on these banks, where life is so pleasant.
The Gelon will be your guide along the way, and you'll catch glimpses of it here and there. Its murmur will accompany you in your efforts, and when you cross it, its spray will bring you a pleasant coolness. It can get hot under the helmet!
While you're exercising your muscles, don't forget to look up to admire the breathtaking view of the Arclusaz mountain, which rises above you at over two thousand metres.
Cycling from village to village, from one side of the Gelon valley to the other, you'll alternate between flower-filled hamlets and rural settings. When you reach the commune of Betton-Betonnet, put your bike down to contemplate the Betton Abbey, founded in 1133. Positioned astride the Montraillon ridge and the Val Gelon, its location is surprising, to say the least. Keep your balance!
