Grenoble Alpes Métropole is nestled in a vast valley in the heart of the mountains. However, one of its peculiarities is that it is the flattest city in France. In this context, the practice of cycling has developed a lot and there is something for everyone: climbers, descenders, fans of quiet walks or for getting around on a daily basis. Cycling is within everyone's reach and, with the development of electrically assisted bicycles, the steepest climbs no longer scare anyone!
Bike in the metropolis: everyday and to visit
On a daily pattern
Grenoble is a city favorable to daily cycling and has even been voted “cycling capital”. The Grenoble metropolis is made up of a network of 320 km of cycle routes. And in recent weeks with post-lockdown, an additional 18km of provisional tracks have been put in place: the “Tempo Vélo”.
