The Grande Traversée des Préalpes by mountain bike, from high plateaus to lavender fields…
As soon as the snow melts, the Chemins du Soleil offer two wilderness routes through the Pre-Alps: from the Rhône valley to the Southern Alps, and from the Vercors to the Mediterranean; a total of 800 km of perfectly signposted trails to discover the natural and cultural riches of the massif. Its sporty nature shouldn’t put off those who prefer a gentler approach, as the many accommodation options along the way mean you can multiply the number of stages and take the time to discover, at your own pace, a territory, its people, landscapes and surprising heritage. The French Cycling Federation (FFC) has joined forces with the GTA to label this major crossing: a real guarantee of quality, making the Chemins du Soleil one of the top 5 mountain bike crossings in France!
