Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes offers mountain biking and skiing itineraries

Travel itineraries in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France highlight various outdoor activities, including mountain biking training in the Queyras massif and skiing in the 3 Vallées.

A mountain biking training program in Queyras involves technical instruction, route planning, and group leadership skills. Participants travel from Lyon to the mountains to practice navigation and first aid.

For winter tourism, Lyon serves as a primary gateway to the French Alps. Air Canada provides transatlantic connections to Lyon, which is a shorter route to the Savoie and Isère regions compared to traveling from Paris. Starting October 25, 2026, the airline will deploy an Airbus A330-300 to accommodate winter demand, which includes significant amounts of ski equipment.
