Cycling circuit: Circuit du Val Coisin

Whether you set off from Montmélian or La Rochette, this is a great way to get away from it all: on little-travelled roads, you'll be delighted by the variety and visibility of the route, with its never-too-long climbs and relatively gentle descents. You'll be just as delighted by the various hamlets you pass through, some of whose buildings reveal a farming dynamic that's still very much alive: it's not uncommon to find farmers selling their produce directly by the roadside: you might as well make the most of it! Once you've passed Betton-Bettonet, you'll be well away from the main traffic flows, a situation that encourages you to wander around and pay closer attention to the landscape: aren't the escarpments of the Bauges and the view of the great, often snow-capped peaks of Belledonne fabulous? Along the way, the Saint Hélène and Saint-Clair leisure centres are ideal for a refreshing stopover.
