The Haute-Savoie General Council is involved in discussions with the Savoie General Council for the purpose of developing cycle tourism routes to have on offer.
The goal: To make Savoie and Haute-Savoie into the definitive region for cycling events, and also to offer a whole range of cycling routes.
Le Vivier in Haute-Savoie:
58 mountain passes for the toughest riders, including many remarkable and legendary climbs. Flat foreland and valley floors but with splendid alpine panoramas.
Today:
48 marked cycle-tourism trails totalling 1,500km.
In the future:
Routes with strenuous climbs and rocky mountain passes with starting points at tourist sites.
Trails for roaming:
- Short roaming trips for learning to tame the slopes
- Week-long roaming trips
- The 100 mountain passes in Savoie and Haute Savoie
Everything needed to enjoy these cycle routes in Haute-Savoie – including overviews, GPS maps, and other information – will be available for download from the General Council website.
The entire range of trails will be created eventually.
