Cycling - The Oisans greenway
Description
Cyclists will thrive in this secure space, far from the exhausts. Your trips from one valley to another will have a real vacation feel thanks to the greenway!
Leading you from Allemond to Venosc, through Le Bourg-d'Oisans, the greenway is a true link between Oisans' 6 valleys and its iconic mountain passes !
Cycling friends, here is the unique occasion to cross the Romanche lowland away from the traffic. Don't miss the opportunity to get away from the main road to reach the pass of your choice. Climb the Ornon pass and its uncrowded road winding its way up the mountainside. Or challenge yourself on the famous Alpe d'Huez climb and 21 bends.
From le Bourg-d'Oisans to Venosc the greenway goes along the cliff to the Pisse waterfall before winding along the Vénéon banks. The glacier blue water will take you company to reach Venosc and its numerous craftsmen, where you will be able to catch the road up to La Bérarde.
For a family stroll we advise you to take your time and stop by to meet the craftsmen, producers and museums of the Route des Savoir-Faire all along the greenway.
You will encounter a steep uphill / downhill for 1 km between Le Bourg-d'Oisans and Venosc
