actually the main town is up the hill to the right.
crossing high-speed high-traffic volume road -- Doing it legally might require first turning Right and going a ways toward the SouthEast - (but what do I know, I'm just an American Tourist)
climb long hill
Tours de Chignin -- optional side trip on hill to West on uppaved roads and paths to explore five ancient stone towers with a big view.

Apremont is another famous name for Savoie wines. From here another option is to use the "Chambery - Lac St Andre - St Baldoph" route to go to St Baldoph.
from here can continue on this same loop from its start point -- or take Lac St Andre route back to the city of Chambery.
Welcome to Bikely, take a step by step tour of this path:
Press Start Tour - then use the navigation buttons below to move along the path.
pretty vineyards + farms + mountain views in the Isere river valley south of Chambery on mostly quiet roads -- though several high-traffic intersections and short road sections. A couple of sections on packed dirt (which I rode on my skinny-tire road bike, but I think they're avoidable anyway). A couple of significant hill climbs -- which lead to great views from up on the side of the valley. Connects with the official Lac St Andre bicycle route from the city of Chambery.
