Route from station to station - La Trans' Vals du Dauphiné
Add to my favorites
By foot, mountain bikes or horseriding, between two train stations (La Tour du Pin or Le Pont de Beauvoisin.), you will discover the region named Les Vals du Dauphiné, through the small valleys, the panoramas, the local culture and the heritage.
The characteristics of the route.

Departure from La Tour du Pin station to Pont de Beauvoisin station (Lyon - Chambéry line).
The route can be done in three stages (shops and accommodation in each stage town):
-La Tour-du-Pin > Val-de-Virieu: 17km - elevation gain: 300m - elevation loss: 215m
-Val-de-Virieu > Les Abrets-en-Dauphiné: 17.8km - elevation gain: 490m - elevation loss: 495m
-Les Abrets-en-Dauphiné > Pont-de-Beauvoisin: 16.5km - elevation gain: 160m - elevation loss: 310m
There is a station at Val-de-Virieu (1km from the town centre) and at Les Abrets-en-Dauphiné (1.5km from the town centre), so you can cover just 1 or 2 stages.
All along the way, you'll enjoy beautiful views of Vercors, Chartreuse, Monts du Chats, Bugey and sometimes Mont-Blanc in the background. Discover a rural area with many hills, some cultivated and some wooded. You are sure to come across many cows grazing in the meadows.
As far as heritage is concerned, take a look at the architecture of Dauphiné houses: often square buildings with adobe walls and a high, four-sided, flaked tile roof. The village of Virieu retains an attractive medieval appearance, with its covered market and castle.
