Since its creation in 2018, the greenway has become more and more popular with lovers of cool, windy hair, "Last one to arrive has to do a forfeit!", digestive strolls… but also by aficionados of running or cycling (all-terrain)!
This safe route is ideal for your peace of mind and offers several rest stops for refueling and well-deserved breaks. We love it!
The green way, step by step:
Step 1: Crémieu
La medieval town of Crémieu is a must at the Balcons du Dauphiné! Hall, cloister, fortifications, typical alleys... Whether before your bike ride or after to stretch your legs, the wonder will be the same!
The starting point of the greenway is at the end of rue des Capucins, with a car park. And in a few pedal strokes, you find yourself in the historic center of the city which has several bicycle racks to leave your two wheels in complete safety.
Do not hesitate to come and pick up a visit plan free at the Tourist Office, on the Place de la Nation!

Step 2: Three
After passing at the foot of the Fusa gorges, there are a few kilometers of greenway through wooded areas where you can hear the sound of water, passages under and over bridges, panoramas of the surrounding countryside until you arrive at the foot of the pretty village of Trept with a view of the Château de Serrières (private).
A welcome break with a view to hydrate and rest your legs!

Stage 3: the ponds of the Serre
You have already arrived at the end of the end of the greenway, which has a nice surprise in store for you: the Sensitive Natural Area of the Ponds of the Greenhouse! A protected place where you can picnic and stretch your legs by the water...
To reach it, simply continue straight ahead at the junction between the Voie Verte and the ViaRhôna. You will pass the small Fongeau pond and then under a bridge before arriving at your destination.
And for those who still want more, you can continue on the ViaRhôna! With the choice:
- towards Montagnieu/Lagnieu and The Blue Valley from the Serre ponds (you have to allow no less than 17km extra!)
- little backtrack to Morestel to visit our beautiful city of painters and its old town (8km away)

Because there is nothing better to discover a bike circuit than to live it as if you were there and to soak up the impressions of those who have taken it: here is an article that takes you on our steps… (or rather our wheels):
Our inspirations… cycling!
By electric bike on the 18km Greenway
It was on a sunny and warm Sunday that we felt the urge to hop on our electric bikes and explore the famous "Greenway" we'd been hearing so much about in the Balcons du Dauphiné region… Without hesitation, we donned our caps, sunglasses, sunscreen, and sneakers…
