Description

A walk between Cluses and Thyez along the Arve River. On the greenway—a route specifically designed for cyclists and pedestrians—you can stroll in complete safety.
Step-by-Step Guide: From Cluses to Thyez: 45 minutes From the Espace Carpano parking lot, take the path to the left of the parking lot entrance to cross the stone bridge. Follow the path to the right, go through the tunnel, and continue straight ahead along the Arve River. At the stop sign (across from the Feu Vert store), turn right before the stop sign and go under the bridge. Follow the path. At the footbridge, continue straight ahead. At the next bridge, take the steps on your left (before the bridge), then cross the Pont de la Sardagne, staying on the sidewalk. For cyclists: Turn left before heading down under the bridge, pass between the white building and the garages, go around the building on the right to reach the bridge. Once you’ve crossed the bridge, take the path on your right (just before the bus shelter). Then rejoin the greenway. Turn right to go under the bridge. Continue on the paved path to Lake Thyez. Return trip: 45 minutes. Take the same route back. At the footbridge, continue straight ahead on the paved path. You can also reach the hiking trail by bus, thanks to the arv'i bus network: • Buses: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 – LCFE Line • Stop: Cluses – City Hall – Bus Station
