Ready to explore the region's roads and trails by road bike or mountain bike? This is a great idea! We have listed for you the must-sees in the region as well as the establishments labeled “Accueil Vélo”.
The “Accueil vélo” label
"Accueil Vélo" is a national label that guarantees quality service and a warm welcome for touring cyclists. It's a true mark of quality for successful bike travel. The various labeled establishments guarantee a cycling route within 5 km, offer suitable facilities (bike shelters, repair kits), and provide services such as luggage transfer, nearby bike rental and washing, laundry facilities, and above all... a warm welcome with practical advice and information just for you, cyclists!
I&d Tourisme is the only organization authorized to award the label in Haute-Savoie! To obtain the label, there's only one thing to do: contact i&d Tourisme.
The "Bike-Friendly City" label
The "Tour de France Cycling Town" label recognizes communities committed to promoting cycling. The town of Cluses has been awarded two bikes for its efforts to develop utilitarian cycling. In collaboration with the Cluses Arve & Montagnes (2CCAM) inter-municipal authority, it has embarked on the creation of a cycle network in the town center.
the cycling route from us: Ar’vélo
Tested and approved by our teams, the Ar'vélo is a cycling route suitable for all pedal strokes. The route presents no major difficulties, and what's more, it's completely flat! A beautiful trip along the Arve, which allows you to connect Sallanches to Contamines-sur-Arve via our towns of Cluses, Thyez and Magland.
