Tour du Lac du Bourget : Aix-les-Bains à Chanaz à vélo Par le Tunnel du Chat
À vélo du Lac du Bourget à Chanaz Par le Tunnel du Chat
Une échappée magnifique entre lac, montagne, tunnel et vignobles !
Dans cette vidéo, nous partons à vélo depuis les rives du Lac du Bourget, le plus grand lac naturel de France, pour rejoindre le charmant village de Chanaz, surnommé la “Petite Venise de Savoie”.
Nous empruntons la spectaculaire piste cyclable qui traverse le Tunnel du Chat, un ancien tunnel routier reconverti pour les vélos et les piétons, avant de traverser les vignes et de suivre le canal de Savières.
Un itinéraire court mais spectaculaire, sans passer par Yenne, idéal pour une balade à la demi-journée ou une étape plus tranquille entre Aix-les-Bains et le Rhône.
📍 Points forts de l’itinéraire :
• Le Lac du Bourget et la plage de Brison-Saint-Innocent
• Le Tunnel du Chat (1,5 km sécurisé, éclairé, unique !)
• Les panoramas sur les montagnes et les vignobles
• Le canal de Savières et l’arrivée bucolique à Chanaz
