A variant on the Lac du Bourget Circuit, with a few more great moments: the crossing of the Col du Chat, a descent through the vineyards of the Avant-Pays and an obligatory coffee stop at one of the terraces in Chanaz, one of the most beautiful villages in Savoie.
This variant can also be done more easily via the Cat tunnel gallery and route no. 60, from the Bourdeau exit to Billième.
The section between Chindrieux and Aix les Bains is on a departmental road with traffic, and is not recommended for children or inexperienced riders. Return by boat possible.
Departmental markings: Tour de la Charvaz N°53 red
