Cycling Trip in the Plaine de l'Ain
Dombes, Bugey, and ViaRhôna

Clos des Berges is an ideal guesthouse for cycling tourism in the Plaine de l’Ain, at the crossroads of varied territories, between the Dombes, the Bugey, and major cycling routes. Whether you enjoy recreational cycling, touring, or sports cycling, Clos des Berges offers a quiet, comfortable, and perfectly located base. Nearby, the Bugey region offers the Col de Faye or the Calvaire de Portes, and you can even venture further to tackle the formidable Grand Colombier.

The Plaine de l'Ain, an ideal cycling playground

The Plaine de l’Ain benefits from a network of quiet, less-trafficked secondary roads, particularly suitable for cycling. Patrick, your host and a cyclist himself, will be able to show you his secret routes 😉 From Clos des Berges, you can set off directly for rides or sports outings, without needing to take the car. The routes offer:
  • Flat and smooth roads in the Dombes

As a cyclist myself, I can guide guests according to their level, desires, and the duration of their stay.
