This path between Bonneville and Contamine-sur-Arve goes through natural areas which are blessed with amazing ecological richness.
The itinerary can be done on foot or by bike, for children and grown-ups alike!
The course goes up the right bank of the Arve river in its entire length and in a remarkable natural setting.
Guided steps
1/ From the quays of Bonneville, you will take the new bicycle path from the Pont de l'Europe to the new downstream bridge over the Arve (a few meters from the Foirail parking lot).
2/ Then you will go along the Arve on a wide path where you will discover vegetable gardens.
3/ Then you will continue on a paved path along the whole line. There are some areas that are used by agricultural vehicles or recently flooded which can be muddy.
