Loop

Figures from the source: Aix-les-Bains Riviera des Alpes tourist office: “Lac 4” wellness walk. Times are walking times without breaks; they vary with fitness, terrain and season.

The route

This loop, waymarked by the tourist office (“Lac 4”), starts at the Grand Port, follows the banks of the Sierroz, goes along boulevard Garibaldi and returns to the esplanade by the green walkway, facing the lake and the mountains.

It is all on voies vertes (traffic-free greenways) and pedestrian areas, with benches: an ideal stroll with children, a pushchair, or while you wait for the boat.

What you see on the way

  • The esplanade facing the lake and the Dent du Chat
  • The banks of the Sierroz
  • Benches all along the way
