Gère (rivière) walks

A hike that almost exclusively uses small roads without traffic, providing a route where the paths are not an option. We start in Vienne and experience its panoramic views of Notre-Dame de Pipet and the Vienne hills with beautiful views of the Rhône Valley and the Pilat massif at the bottom. The return journey takes you through the homes on the Vienne heights while maintaining good views of the Viennoise hills.

On this fairly flat loop, you follow a stream and then a river where brown trout breed. You will discover some beautiful restored houses and mills, a spring, a lake... An easy, short and enjoyable hike, best done in good weather in summer when La Gère is low, due to the need to ford the river.

This walk presents no major difficulties apart from the distance. The first part takes place mainly in the woods, the second in the Dauphiné bocage. It will take you past several ponds, up to the Clock Tower, and to the amazing Saint-Hugon Chapel.

This walk is not difficult. It alternates between woodland and the Dauphiné bocage. It takes you past three beautiful residences: the fortified house of Cazeneuve, Bonnevaux Castle and Avril (or Arzay) Castle, as well as a few ponds.

A hike with a relatively even elevation gain, which mainly takes place in the undergrowth and offers occasional views of the peaks.

A charming walk that alternates between forest and countryside. It takes place alternately on dirt tracks and small asphalt roads. The elevation gain is divided into three distinct phases and is therefore not too arduous.

This circular route connects the Gère valley to the Malissol neighbourhood. It follows a path along the banks of the Gère, part of which is in the Malissol forest, near the fitness trail, and some more rocky sections in the heart of the Malissol neighbourhood. A family walk with a slight incline, best done with flat, closed-toe shoes (forest trails).

Alternating plains and hillsides, with very clear views, the Alps on one side and the Pilat massif on the other. Best enjoyed on a clear day.

A short walk through the historic centre of Vienne. It will allow you to discover the city's main sites. The passage through the Pipet belvedere involves a good climb, but you will be rewarded with a splendid view of the city, the Rhône valley and, as a bonus, the foothills of the Monts du Lyonnais and Pilat.
