Topo / step by step

From one tourist site to another, set off on a day-long expedition on ViaRhôna.
From Espace Bike, follow the banks of the Rhône on the cycle path towards Lagnieu. You only need to look down at the quays of Sault-Brénaz to glimpse the importance of the boatmen's activity, and understand that the history of this village is intimately linked to the river.

Lovers of (very) old stones can follow the road which leads into the heights of Sault-Brénaz to discover the remains of a conciliabulum, a sort of Roman theater, more than 2000 years old.

After crossing the beautiful village of Saint-Sorlin-en-Bugey, rich in its heritage, you discover the village of Vertrieu. Small village of character located between the cliffs of the Isle-Crémieu plateau and the Rhône, this village will surprise you with the richness of its heritage.

Finish with a stop at the Grottes de La Balme. Explore the galleries and labyrinths to discover the many geological curiosities available to you: stalactites, stalagmites, draperies, gours, underground lake...
With a little luck and patience, you might be able to observe the discreet little animal emblem of the caves: the bat. The visit lasts approximately 1h30.
