Forest Road Near the Rhône

Highlight • Trail

After leaving Colombier, enjoy the ride to the Rhone and along the Rhone. It is 10° warmer down here and for the second time since I left in mid-March, you can feel something like spring. It is April 2nd.

The canal winds from Portout to Chanaz for almost four kilometers. This peaceful and pleasant setting attracts many boaters who enjoy the gentleness of its banks.
