Epic Road Rides’ guide to cycling the ViaRhôna cycle route
Why should cyclists ride the ViaRhôna cycle route?
The changing geography is one of the reasons ViaRhôna works well as a cycling holiday. Each section has a different feel, so riders can choose the part that best fits their time, fitness and interests.
Fun fact
An impressive 60% is on traffic-free greenways or shared paths, making ViaRhôna popular with families and those keen to avoid traffic.
When to cycle?
Spring and early autumn are often the most comfortable times to cycle ViaRhôna, especially if you are riding the southern sections through Provence, the Camargue, and the Mediterranean coast.
Any tips?
Before travelling, check the official stage information for route surface, current status and any provisional sections. This is especially useful if you are riding with children, planning a relaxed holiday or trying to avoid busier roads.
