Do you know that Vertrieu is the northernmost town in the department of Isère? It is also one of our unfairly overlooked nuggets because it has no less than two castles and if it were only that! Its geographical location on the banks of the Rhône, facing the cliffs of Bugey, with the Serverin forest as its backdrop, makes it a dream location for strolling.
Here, you will discover a preserved heritage between narrow streets and wooded paths. And there reigns a beautiful village atmosphere made of the pride of the inhabitants to make known and loved their borders of Dauphiné.
The essentials of the city
Visit the village
With a guide…
From June to September, on the 1st Thursday afternoon of the month, go on a hike in the afternoon through alleys and vertroland paths. You will discover the history of the village of yesterday and today. During the visit, an ascent to the Croix du Serverin will allow you to enjoy a panoramic view of the Rhône and the cliffs of Bugey. This guided hike is also offered to groups.
In autonomy with a visit plan…
The visit plan is ideal for discovering the heritage of Vertrieu in total freedom. It is available free of charge at the Tourist Office but also at the Jardin des Simples and at the town hall of the village. Between urban streets and wooded paths, it will be the essential tool for your beautiful walk.
You can also download the detailed visit plan of the park of the Château de Vertrieu. Please note, the Château de Vertrieu is not open to visitors all year round: remember to check the opening hours here.
